We were crushed but there's no need to panic

Hey, folks. Let's not get down on ourselves for the butt kicking we took from the TD's yesterday. The TD's played a great game. We just have to tip our caps to them and prepare ourselves for our next game. If you play enough games, you'll have days like that no matter how good your team may be. There's no need for us to lose confidence or try to fix things that aren't broken. I think we may have overreacted a bit when the TD's took early command of the game. I'm not sure what the reasons were but we reacted to the TD's hitting barrage by shuffling our defense around. In one instance, I think it was in reaction to Gena getting hurt. I understand that one. But when we started putting our players at positions they hadn't played before, I'm not sure what this was supposed to accomplish. I don't mean to criticize the decision. I'm just trying to understand it. I'm open minded and if someone can make sense of it for me, I'll get on board. Otherwise, I think this is something we should avoid in the future. When people are asked to do things they haven't done before, they tend to struggle. This is just my opinion but I don't think the TD's were going to stop hitting no matter what positions we were playing. James tried to take the blame for it but we can't let him do that. Perhaps his control wasn't as sharp as it usually is but it's not the reason we lost. We were beaten because the TD's outplayed us in every phase of the game. They hit better. They ran the bases better. They fielded better (despite them booting a few balls at shortstop). And on top of all that, Mr. Brown pitched an outstanding game. There's always room for improvement so there are some things we can work on at practice next Monday besides our usual routine. Maybe we should make it a lighter workout this time. We worked really hard at our last practice and with a game the following day, it may have been too much. Ideally, there would be a day off between our practices and our games but Tuesday games eliminate that possibility. (Maybe next year we can schedule our games on Wednesdays and Thursdays instead of Tuesdays and Wednesdays.) Let's have a light workout and walk-through Monday so we don't wear ourselves down. Then we can get back to doing our thing in the playoffs.
