April 3rd - April 15th, 2014

You know how your not supposed to waste any opportunity that your given...well I almost did. Remember how I said we had our home opener...well we were away and I almost overslept leading me to scurry down to the team bus only 20 minutes late.

I thought I was gonna get benched as Manager Pankovits was looking to hit me in the bottom third of the order but thankfully he gave all of us one "mulligan," not before chewing me out though.

I made up for my schedule gaffe by making my first career hit a HOMER!!! that I smoked to deep right center. Here is the shot:

After getting another single to add to the bomb, I thought everything was going to be easy after that and boy...I was wrong. Over the next 9 games, I was only able to muster 4...yes 4 hits!!!

Every single d*** time I smoked a ball, it was hit right at a fielder, like they had a gravitational pull.

It's just so frustrating but I guess I can take some solace that I've actually hit the ball really well and I've just been a little unlucky. My BABIP surely has to rise, right?

Anyway I'm not proud to admit I'm hitting .158 right now and I was even benched in a couple of games. On top of that our team is sitting in the basement right now:

SL North Standings - Updated: Apr 15, 2014
AL EAST	W	L	GB
Lookouts	7	5	-
Barons	7	5	-
Smokies	6	6	1
Generals	4	8	3
Stars	4	8	3

In a couple days, we have a day off but the grind of the minors is already taking it's toll on a lot of us. We barely get a day off on the schedule but hopefully I can re-focus and get back on track.

Hopefully better days are coming.
