Game Thursday

We will play the Cubs, who beat the Cardinals tonight, Thursday at 5:30. If we win that game we will play in the championship game Saturday. If we lose we will play Friday. Some of the rules will be different in the tournament. The coach-pitcher is suppose to have at least one foot in the circle which is not much different than I've been doing all year to most batters. For the tournament we will have a 9 player lineup instead of 10. If a team as fewer than 9 players they will get an out for each missing player. For example, if a team has only 8 players then each time the 9th spot in the batting order comes up it will be an automatic out. I like this rule since we usually have enough players but the other teams may only have 6 or 7. The more the better in the field but if you only have 7 players and it's your best 7 hitters it can help your offense a lot. This rule keeps a team from having an advantage for having less than 9 players. So let's be sure we have at least 9, hopefully all 11, players there.
