Saturday-- season opener, A's v. Dodgers. We played with the machine. The settings were a little off from our practice, but Taoster and the team figured it out. Taoster can make that thing sing Home Sweet Home. By the second inning, our kids were crushing it. There was a little flap with the other manager about whether we continue playing in the bottom half of the inning when the game was effectively over. The other team called it after our kid on second had to use the bathroom. But overall it was a great experience experience. All but 2 of our kids made contact, there were some serious plays in the field, and James went 3-3.
Sunday (today-- we put up the cage! Saturday we assembled, but assembled it wrong. Today we fixed it. Taoster and I were out there in 90 degree whether assembling this thing. And I pitched a round of tennis balls to James. He tore up the vegetables. Success! we still need to get the mulch out, drag the dirt, put in a home plate, get the machine set up, and other small potatoes stuff. But we're 90% of the way there. Now we can play ball and grow vegetables and fruit in the back yard.
