Rangers

2009-06-26T18:22:00.001-07:00

So, because my baseball season is over, I think i will start posting about the Rangers every now and then.

Back to Blogging

2009-06-26T17:26:00.000-07:00

I know I know. I have been unfaithful to my blogging. But here I am posting for the first time in a while. I guess I will just give you an update on what has happened so far. I began throwing and we had our basebal l season. We had one of the best records of our schools history. Sadly, that ended in the regional championship game which we lost to the underdogged Bureau Valley. We had 10 run ruled them twice earlier in the year. Well we had a new coach this year and that was okay. When I pitched my first start for the varsity team, I pitched a 6 hit, complete game victory with nine strikeouts. Well we lost the game and ever since I have been pitching off of my new backyard pitchers mound and keeping track of my beloved Rangers. Well that is pretty much all that has gone on. Here are some pics of the year. Talk to ya next time.

New Toy... Well Sorta.

Well as all of you know, Christmas has come and gone. But those presents you got are still here. One of those presents that I got, was a Pitching Screen. It has six different zones that you can throw into, AND it has a carry bag. That is always a plus. I have yet to try it out as there has been a lot of snow on the ground for quite some time now. Well once I get it out and try it, I will write a review on here for all of you to see. Talk to ya next time.

A new post...Finally

Well as Winter is slowly grinding to a stop, I am starting to think about maybe possibly starting to throw. We have an indoor fitness center in the nearby town, where, I will be throwing to any person who will catch me. Well, see ya next time.

Ketchup

I have a question for everyone. If a tomato is a fruit, does that make ketchup a jelly?

Wooden Bat League

2008-09-26T14:29:00.000-07:00

Well we finally won a game. I got to pitch about two innings in relief and had 1 strike out. I didn't do very well pitching wise because the mound was way to high. I shouldn't be making excuses but thats how it is. I played right field for both games when I wasn't pitching. I had 3 catches in right and had 1 hit and a walk on the day. We lost the second game though. All together it was fun and exciting as always. Talk to ya next time.

Paintballing Baseball Prep

2008-09-20T16:54:00.000-07:00

So today I decided that for prep for my games tomorrow that I would go paintballing with my youth group... What an adrenaline rush... this was my 2nd or 3rd time actually paintballing and I had a blast. I am going to count that as my running because I think I lost a couple pounds, I was wearing three pairs of pants and two shirts to go along with the mask. I have several welts but none, thankfully, on my pitching arm. I hope i'm not too worn out for tomorrow. I had fun "shooting the baptists" in our own little interdenominational war. Comments are encouraged. I will post tomorrow on how my games went. Have a great day.

Wooden Bat League

2008-09-04T04:40:00.000-07:00

Well, this Sunday i have a wooden bat league game... It is at ICC and were playing against Olympia who is supposed to be really good. I am probably pitching one of the games but we'll see...
I am probably one of the better pitchers on my team.(Other than the big lefty who can throw 90+).
I hope we win and all goes well... Leave comments on what you think... I will try if i can to get a video uploaded of me pitching. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

About me

2008-09-01T17:45:00.000-07:00

Hi! My name is Chris and if you don't already know I am an RHP(Right Handed Pitcher). I pitch for my high school and my towns summer league team. I have a fastball that clocks around the mid 70's to low 80's on a good day although my velocity is improving. A lot of people in my school don't believe I can be a good pitcher, my summer league coach included. My summer league team had a 4-0 lead in our district tournemant when they brought in a different pitcher. He gave up that lead and we lost the game... I was eligible to pitch that day and was very ready to but my coach didn't think i could pitch us to a win. That has pretty much been the story of my baseball career, since i was 3. I am a Junior and 16 years old and I am here to tell you my progress to becoming a college and hopefully pro pitcher.
