let's see if we have any fight left and can avoid the run rule.

All of our 1st baseman have piss poor footwork receiving the ball
We have no real 1B and no one on staff that's great at teaching fielding. I am ok with recruiting primarily hitters and not fielders, but you have to still work on fundemantals and coach them up. Footwork at 1B is basic stuff.

There's an epidemic of bad blocking in softball (and baseball to a lesser extent) right now. Kids these days.

We have the tools to contend, but we are in a funk right now and have been for some time. We looked great on the road to start the season, but struggled a bit once we came home. Now the wheels are kinda falling off.

Will dealerships knock something off if I pay the full amount with a cashier’s check? Or do they not give a shit because they get their money anyway/make much more off of financing?
It's been answered above, but I'll elaborate more on the why. Ignoring covid-era inventory-shortage mania, they often make very little on the car sale itself due to competition and price transparency on the internet. Sometimes as little as several hundred dollars. They have very high margins on financing: 1) they will often mark up the interest rate from the bank (called the buy rate); 2) they get origination commissions/fees from the bank for facilitating the loan; 3) they often get folks to buy all sorts of shit in the finance office, like extended warranties, tire protection packages, etc., that have huge markups. Consumers have very little idea what the fair market price of these products should be (because, unlike the car, they've done no research on these items), and the dealers won't quote you the full price, just what it does to your monthly payment, making it sound far cheaper than it is. Almost all of this can be bought third party after the sale is over and proper research can be done. Always refuse the shit they try to sell you in the finance office.

Well at least we won the series. We are not the best team in the country, however. Lol.

on another note, it looks like Kavan brought her A game today.
Welp.

She’s never found a positional home. She’s caught, played RF and 1B. I like her at 1B but then that knocks Stewie to DP, which means you need to get Mitchell in at 3B but then Scott has to go somewhere. So OF in place of Maloney?
I’d like to see her get more looks there. I love Ashton, especially in the field, but hate slapping, especially straight slapping.

You know our hitters are a little jealous of the height of the walls. We’d have some OU power numbers if our walls were little lower
Plus it’s like 185 to left center.

This tiny ballpark is joke in my opinion.

TK gets the circle. Cimusz gets 1B over Goode
I feel like Cimusz has been a little overlooked in her time here. She's a good defender and a solid hitter.

Stewart wasn't an option as she is out this weekend. Not sure of the reason, but she didn't travel with the team.
ok - that makes more sense. Hope she gets back soon.

10 runs should be enough to win the game for you, so this is on pitching and defense. I was not surprised by defensive miscues, but i was surprised at the pitching meltdown. I don't know what was up with Gutierrez. Let's see how we bounce back.
At the plate, leaving Stewie on the bench in favor of Goode (who has only 2 hits this year against decent teams) was boneheaded, particularly since Goode is not good at 1st (no one is apparently). In that little league park, you want all the power bats in the lineup you can get.

Not sure I like Goode at 1st.

Cap!!
This is like a 10u field. -
Broke their scoreboard apparently.

Bella needs to move back to our leadoff imo.

Estelle with a great inning. Should have gone to her after the 2nd homer.

gutierrez is throwing meatballs

Time to go to the pen.

feels like the golden age of commercial aviation safety we've enjoyed the last 20 or so years may be ending.

Bella's senior video. These are a nice touch.

Speaking of uneven editing, after a rewatch, I was pissed at how Bailey and the other guy being on the run and getting back wrapped up so suddenly. Those dudes were on the run and in hiding across Belgium, France, and Spain for four months or so, and a lot of people helped them out.
agreed - we got tons of screen time with them in Belgium and whatnot . . . and then bam they're back in England riding bikes like it's nothing.

I'd take a spinoff just on the P-51s getting on the scene to help the 8th.
