MW Drowns Brew Crew
MW coasted to victory in their makeup game Sunday night against Brew Crew, 23-6.
After a game that started with numerous walks the pitching from Brew Crew calmed down, but this only served to allow MW to turn up their offense and aggressive base running. A couple highlights include Dave going 4-4 from the plate and Jared legging out an in the park HR.
But the real story with MW is not what is going on with the offense, nor is it what is going on with the defense. The real drama is taking place in the GMs office. Coach Tom has come under much fire as of recently as he has abandoned last years (perhaps half hearted) attempt to rotate playing time throughout the lineup. This year playing time is at the sole discretion of Tom, which not surprisingly has caused some controversy amongst the ranks.
Tom is reportedly determining playing time and batting order position based on performance, leading many of the players to become amateur statisticians in order to aid in their ability to debate for their spot in the lineup. However this may be all for not according to some rumors that indicate that Tom is also planning to use playing time as a form of disciplinary action. It remains to be seen if Tom is able to stand up to the heat that comes along with his new found dictatorship.
As always MWBall will continue to bring you coverage of this story as it becomes available.

It’s too hard to argue my spot in the line-up without making myself look conceited.. but the fact remains that I have always batted at the top of the line-up and most of the time I am the kind of person who needs to be there to perform at the top of my game.. My only argument is that I have done nothing to deserve being dumped at the bottom of the line-up where my skills are being wasted by dying on base 75% of the time.. I need to be at the top where I feel like i am included in the action… You know I am going to keep playing hard no matter where i am but I must remind you that I am in a contract year.. so I may be testing free agency at the conclusion of the season..
