Winter Baseball... Pitchers and Catchers Report Next Week

I'm on the Bulldogs indoor baseball team, I think we may be able to add a player or two to the roster if anyone is interested, we have no pitchers.

Bulldog Mike Martin shares a video of his off-season training regimen.



I'm going to push for a name change, how about the Groundhogs, in honor of Groundhog Day.

Bill Murray, Genius.

In fact, the Bulldogs indoor team will be referred to as the "Groundhogs" on this blog for the remainder of the winter season.

Go Groundhogs!

Opening Day is April 18th, three months away.
We're going to start winter workouts next week.
Mark Guthrie, Les Gies (sp.?) and myself will run practice while Dr. Jones coaches basketball.

Indiana Jones does not like the call.

We have two choices;
We can roll the dice with the Cost Center by Pitt's intramural field, which is free, but it's a crap shoot as to the availability of the cage, or we can meet at the Greentree Sportsplex once a week as a team, where we will be guaranteed cages, room to throw, and our pitchers and catchers can get in some work. This will cost $15 per hour for the bullpen, and we'll have to pay for tokens, but we have an NABA discount, which is nice.

Either way, three weeks from now, the Black Sox have invited us to play in a few controlled scrimmages at the Sportsplex, on Mondays starting Feb. 10th.
Look for an email regarding this.

NABA Legend Kenny Rayl; Black Sox owner, GM, head coach, player,
equipment manager, water boy, bat boy, statistician, advanced scout, Head of Player Development, and Assistant to the Traveling Secretary.

Check out the previous post for Dr. Jone's address.
Send him a check for the first installment of league dues.
Feel free to root through his garbage.

Sponsorship Money will be hard to come by, but we have to try. Ask anyone and everyone.
