The machine

Tonight was the first

baseball practice for Lucas.

Machine pitch

competitive ball this year.

This is a very big step and one that has caused much debate. We opted for competitive partly due to the fact several kids from the football team wanted to play baseball together. The debate back and forth was pointless because when he got to practice tonight he was great. He stood right in front of that machine like he knew exactly what he was doing and hit the first ball out of there. I was shocked but there was nothing but pride across Jeremy's face.

This is their first year playing machine pitch for all the kids so there is certainly work to be done don't get me wrong but it is nice to leave your first practice knowing that your kid should not leave every game sad because they got slaughtered. I think when we left tonight I was glad to know that I no longer have to answer the question that has plagued me every game for the last two years. Mom, why do they say it was a tie? No way it was a tie we totally won or stinkin lost (depending on the game.)

How many dads does it take to set up the machine for practice?

Addi is going to have enough practice time logged to play college ball before she gets to tee ball. She does love watching them play. They thew one ball back just so she would have something to play with.

I know games will be Wednesday nights and will mainly be double headers.
Once I know dates and times
I will let you know!
