Posted on June 23, 2019 by Neil deMause

This was the game we’d played all year to be in: The championship game against 78 Steckel. Both teams came in riding three-game postseason winning streaks; the difference was that our last game was yesterday and Steckel’s was last weekend, … Continue reading →

Tournament game 3: Green Blueberries 9, 78 Lieber 3

Posted on June 16, 2019 by Neil deMause

Going into the weekend, we had to feel pretty good about our chances in our tournament matchup against 78 Lieber: We’d beaten them four out of five times in the regular season, we were coming off probably our best game … Continue reading →

Tournament game 2: Green Blueberries 9, 78 Shiffman 5

Posted on June 12, 2019 by Neil deMause

After our loss last weekend to SFX Mezzo-Lui, we faced a daunting task to stay alive in the double-elimination tournament: Beat 78 Shiffman, who we had never beaten in I don’t know how many tries across seven or eight seasons. … Continue reading →

Tournament game 1: SFX Mezzo-Lui 10, Green Blueberries 6

Posted on June 9, 2019 by Neil deMause

In modern baseball analysis, one of the most important principles is that batting average on balls in play (BABIP) is roughly a constant. In the majors, BABIP — in other words, batting average on everything other than strikeouts or home … Continue reading →

Game 16: Green Blueberries 9, 78 Lieber 3

Posted on June 5, 2019 by Neil deMause

Last night, we faced off again with 78 Lieber, or at least mostly 78 Lieber — they required a last-second infusion of a couple of friends and family members to field a nine-player lineup. But all was good by 6 … Continue reading →

Game 15: Green Blueberries 13, SFX Mezzo-Lui 9

Posted on June 3, 2019 by Neil deMause

I didn’t forget the recap of last night’s game, which was a wild one: Eleven batters into the rubber match of our three-game regular-season series vs. SFX Mezzo-Lui, the game seemed to be over before it had started: The Mets … Continue reading →

Game 14: Green Blueberries 6, SFX Mezzo-Lui 4

Posted on June 1, 2019 by Neil deMause

Today’s game vs. the SFX Mezzo-Lui Mets wasn’t a lot like anything familiar at all. The weirdness started in the top of the first, when Jordan N led off by drawing a walk, moved to second on a botched force … Continue reading →

Game 13: HN Meehan 14, Green Blueberries 7

Posted on May 31, 2019 by Neil deMause

Friday’s game vs. Holy Name Meehan was like a lot of our recent games: We hit the ball well, pitched okay, and made errors (7) and gave up unearned runs (also 7) in bunches. Highlights included Dylan striking out three … Continue reading →

Game 12: SFX Mezzo-Lui 12, Green Blueberries 8

Posted on May 22, 2019 by Neil deMause

The Green Blueberries went into the finale of our marathon run of seven games in eight days with a late opponent switch: 78 Shiffman’s team canceled because of a lack of available players, so we scheduled a last-minute rainout makeup … Continue reading →
