I have finally had a chance to go back and enter in the stats from a couple games where we had some technical difficulties with the stat program in the dugout. Please keep in mind when viewing these stats that these are not the goal of our players or our team. These stats are not a true reflections of how well or poorly we are executing on the field. There are times when we make a great pitch and the hitter fights it off for a bloop single. Other times we will make a poor pitch that the hitter will chase out of the zone or maybe one right down the middle that the batter hits right at a fielder for an out. That's the nature of baseball. The results cannot always be controlled by the player.
That being said, some of these stats are disturbing to me. We are walking way too many hitters, striking out too much, and have given up way too many unearned runs. We need to improve these 3 areas if we are going to have a successful season.
