Can't help myself, proud father and all. My 12yr old son's line from the first game of this year against the top ranked team in Avon:

IP H R ER BB SO NP
6 0 0 0 2 16 86


For those of you not baseball savy, that's called chuckin some peas.

IP=Innings pitched;6
H=Hits allowed;0
R= Runs allowed;0
ER= Earned runs;0
BB= Walks allowed;2
SO= Strikeouts;16!!!!!
NP= # of pitches thrown;86

We won 9-0.

 

Congrats to your son Dave...those are some nice numbers.

 

Thank you, T.O. forum post whore extraordinaire.

I'd like to say that it's all in the coaching (me), but I would not be telling the truth. I was a pitcher all through Little League and High School, but I never had the raw talent my son has.

Also, to his credit, he works very hard at it. Today, after the game, he was beating himself up about the 2 walks he allowed. Little bastard is a perfectionist.

 

Most winners are that way.

It was probably Eileen's side that brought the talent to your son ....

 

Wow, that's the second time you've taken the words out of my mouth in as many days........Stop it!

Congrats, Dave...Looks like he's a very talented kid! I'd like to have baseball back in DC, but it doesn't appear it will happen in my lifetime.

does he have an agent yet?

I hear MLB calling. (If he's a lefty, send him to my Giants!)
