I told that coach at Palmdale after we beat them earlier in the season that he better be prepared to play us next time. Oh, he was prepared all right. They beat us 4-1.
But something wasn’t right. They had a pitcher that day who wasn’t just good…..he was damn good.
I was always into stats. I loved reading them when they printed all of the stats in the LA Times and The Daily News. I could see which teams had guys who were putting up some numbers. I sure hadn’t seen any impressive numbers from any of their pitchers that year. None of their pitchers were ever even listed.
So just who was this guy?
Well, it didn’t take much “research” on my part to find out that about six guys on the field that day for them weren’t even at the first game. I just opened up the scorebook and looked. I got home…called the Commissioner of the League. It turns out a couple of those guys were like 20 years old!
What a loser that coach was. He wrote the REAL names of illegal players in the scorebook! This guy doesn’t even know how to cheat!!
And the fact that they only beat us 4-1 says a LOT about what a great team we had.
BIG BRECK……..YOU THREW A HELL OF A GAME against a bunch of 19 and 20 year olds!! Ahh Big Breck!!!
The line on Big Breck?
Six innings. Three hits. TEN strikeouts!! And only TWO earned runs.
That’s right….I like the fact that teams were now resorting to “ringers” to deal with Verdugo. It was the only way!!!
I wonder how many other teams tried that shit and I just didn’t catch it!!!!
So here’s a message to Palmdale! Verdugo OWNS you!!! Thanks for the “W”……..We probably should have had Big Breck glove-flicking on your sorry-asses as well!!!
Five-in-a-row!! 13-6. Ahhh Verdugo!!!!
Next up………..Quartz Hill.
