TORN
I am torn over the question of whether yesterday's game against Braintree went well for me, or badly. In my first complete game as a shortstop, I made what were far and away my most accomplished plays so far. That is to say, I fielded two ground balls cleanly, and made accurate throws to first — on […]

RAYS EXTEND RAPTORS’ LOSING STREAK
Report from Herts Baseball Newswire Correspondent, ROB JONES This was another tale of bold battling from the Herts rookies, but two bad innings consigned them to a tough but honourable defeat.

COMING TO TERMS
It's taken me three days to put words on the screen this week, and I'm not sure why. Partly, it's because I just don't know where to start. The Raptors took what a Norwegian football commentator once called “a hell of a beating”, but as I mull over it constantly it's still hard to see […]

Last season, the league consisted of four teams. In addition, in 2009 two new teams have been added to the line-up. In order to create […]
DEALING WITH THE PAIN
It's two days since the game ended, and my body is slowly recovering. The bruise which stopped me closing my hand is starting to fade, the gash on my shin has new skin. And when I think that I got off lightly compared to some of my team mates, you do wonder why we do […]
BACK TO THE FUTURE?
This was a case of “Going back through the change”. Not so much a bold vision of the future, more a return to the past. To fill our needs with only nine players available, I was in the outfield this week. And it was a nice, comfortable fit. Five catches, I think, including one of those satisfying […]
