Gorundhogs lose

The Gorundhogs are now 1-2-1 after losing to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory 7-1 last night. The Pittsburgh NABA Groundhogs are ready to reverse their so-so fortunes in the playoffs.

Spags pitched well, allowing two hits over six innings. didn’t get any close calls.

It’s hard to get up for these games. It’s good to get in some work. It’s too bad we don’t have an indoor league full of NABA teams. that would make the games much more competitive, and important. I still hate to lose, and our team is more talented than the five over 28 teams.

Guthrie was the only Ducks to show up and scrimmage with the black sox. he pitched to their batters, and probably dominated.

Ideally we will get at least 5 guys to show up next Monday. Regardless of how you feel about the team that eliminated us last season, they are providing us with an opportunity to get better in the off-season and we should take them up on their offer.

I’ve played alongside Kenny, Goldie, and Slavonic. They are everything you could ask for in teammates. For whatever that’s worth.

I would get more out of seeing their pitchers in Feb than I am getting from the old guys in Trafford, but I’m committed to the Groundhogs, and since I only have two nights off per week, one is for the Groundhogs and the other is Sunday.

That said, turnout for our Sunday practices has exceeded expectations, and practice has been productive.

For the rest of the spring, we will practice Sunday at 5, and with the Black Sox Mondays at 7. Make every effort to get to both.

This will make us better individually and collectively.

I’m going to preview all 12 teams. I planned on doing one per week leading up to the season but I’m short on weeks. I’ll figure something out. I’m going to start early in my quest to lead the league in HBP.

Quack.

Spagnasty leads Groundhogs to first victory: Groundhogs 10, Giants 3

Joe Graff and his new friend.

Went to Harvard.

Jim Spagnola pitched seven innings allowing 3 runs, on four hits, striking out three Giants, and walking two.

The Pittsburgh NABA Groundhogs Modified Rules Winter Baseball Club played solid defense behind Spags, turning between two and four double plays.

Brian Strom went 3-4, Joe Graff continues to run fast and get on base while recording base hits and drawing walks.

If Ben Gwin and Vinny Gala start hitting at the same time, the Groundhogs will be unstoppable.

Groundhogs mid-season acquisition, Blue Shirt, hit a triple and brought pine tar. The other guy from the Huskies whose name I don’t remember is a solid hitter and continues to drive in runs.

The Giants started Jeff Hostetler on the mound for an injured Phil Simms, but he was ineffective early, allowing six runs in the first two innings.

I think Joe got a hit, possibly two.
Strom surprised everyone going without eye black, or sunglasses. blinded by the bright indoor lighting, he relied heavily on his sense of smell, and played an unreal game at third.

The Giants relied heavily on these two, Banjo and Accordion. not the devastating double play combo you might think

The Groundhogs jumped out to a 7-3 lead and added three more in the last two innings.

The game started ominously for the no longer undefeated Giants:
Jimmy Spagmatic hit the first two Giants but they refused to take their free base, leading to a pop out, a walk and a double play for a 1-2-3 first inning.

Then Jeff Kent ate a dead bird

The Groundhogs have scored 16 runs in their last nine innings and are undefeated since, starting pitcher, Jim-bo Spagmania joined the team, he fields the position well, and will contend for a spot in the Ducks rotation while helping to solidify what is shaping up to be a very deep South Oakland bullpen this summer.

Winter Ball Game 3: Groundhogs (0-1-1) vs. Giants (2-0)…Ducks News

Some questions on the minds of the Pittsburgh NABA Groundhogs Modified Rules Indoor Baseball Club:

Will guest player, Blues outfielder, Brian Strom wear his sunglasses inside?
will he go with eye-black?
Or will Strom go with both shades and eye black and intimidate the Giants into a forfeit.

Will someone bring pine tar?

How much beer will be consumed at the pre-game meal?

Is this guy on the Giants?

Bad News for the Giants.

There’s still a bounty on the mystery commenter, (see the last post. )

If this was someone who randomly stumbled upon our blog, then whatever, but if it’s someone from the league their teammates will pay for their actions.
Granted, one of this blog’ s functions is to provide a forum for trash talking, we dish out enough that we can certainly take it, but at least be a little creative, and show your team colors.
