Michael was having a rough game Wednesday against the diabolical Athletics; his head was not in the game, and he even struck out. Because of our schedule, and the weather, we have not been able to practice at home lately, and it showed; the first time he was at the plate, it was like he had never had any instruction at all. He was standing straight up with his feet all over the place.
During a 15 minute lightning break we had a talk, and we got his head back in the game. After which, he had a wonderful inning at third base. Early in the inning a line drive was hit towards him. In a single motion he scooped it up and threw it to first. It bounced to first because of the distance, but it made it there.
Later that inning, the bases were loaded. Crack! A ball is screaming towards the hole between short and third. Michael slid to the right and scooped up the ball. Without hesitation he ran to third to force out the runner. It was clearly a play to feel proud of, and the crowd let him know with a round of applause.
