So I realize my last post was entirely too long and probably boring... my apologies. Here are some pictures from the Croatia trip described below.
In baseball news, it was a rather depressing day. I returned to Belgium having thought about pitching against the Pioneers all week and looking forward to seeing how I matched up against Belgium's finest in mid season form. Unfortunately, upon my return, I was given news that something was messed up in the paper work for my players license renewal and I was ineligible to play. Although this problem is only temporary, I had to sit out todays game and couldn't even sit in the dugout (which is BS if you ask me) and will probably have to do the same tomorrow. It was frustrating to watch the game and not be able to do anything or even try to help our players from a coaching standpoint. Aaron threw pretty well but was forced to throw a lot of pitches in the early going after we gave up 4 unearned runs in the first two innings. Pitch count and a very good hitting team caught up with him in the later innings and we ended up dropping the game 11-1. Bram threw well in relief, but our bats were silent for most of the game. Watching from the stands was interesting, but far from enjoyable. I felt like I could have really helped from a coaching standpoint had I been allowed on the field. I was able to see things and think through adjustments I would make as a coach and although I was unable to communicate these... many of the adjustments I thought through and the thoughts I was trying to will to my teammates proved to be correct. Although I am not ready to hang up the spikes, I think I will make a good coach down the line when my playing days are done.
Anyways, long winded again... here are the pics. A lot more are on Rachel's facebook so check them out.
