None better than this, loosely translated: You can’t play baseball when you’re tight. Not automatic.”īidwell has said many memorable things over the years. You do situational things when they need to be done. We haven’t swung the bat as well as we’re capable, but the big thing is not to panic about it. I think we have guys who can hit some and I think we will,” Bidwell said. Consider that Tyler McIntyre hit 20 by himself in 2010. Which put the Pointers at two homers for the season. “I said, ‘Mike, we’re looking to win the bleeping game, not tie it.’” Mike (third base coach Mike Aldrich) looks over to me for the bunt,” Bidwell said. The author: Pinch-hitter Avery Santos, who may actually be the first player named “Avery” in the whole terrific history of Avery Point baseball. It was of the three-run variety in the bottom of the seventh in a seven-inning game, Avery Point down two at the time.

“I blame Ed when we can’t hit,” Bidwell was saying, alluding to assistant coach Ed Harvey, who was a really good baseball guy for many years before “Matt’s dad” became his full time job.Įd was smiling last Saturday, the day the Pointers hit homer No. And Bidwell thought he’d seen everything. Bernard kid, hit the Pointers’ first homer of the season. And yet when intrepid assistant coach/stat keeper Myles Halliwell called in a game last week, he mentioned in passing that Izzy Davila, St. Roger Bidwell at UConn Avery Point, after 12 New England championships and four trips to the Junior College World Series, has another team well north of 20 wins already. Turns out the best baseball guy of them all around here has such a dilemma. A rather easy way to amass runs, right? But what of a team that used to hit them somewhat regularly that’s suddenly not hitting them at all? Do you declare WAR on your BABIP, or just kind of sip DECAF? It is high … it is far … you know the rest. “Analytics.” It’s hard to know, especially for us cattle, what counts and what doesn’t anymore in our once simple pastime, now that we’re swimming in their morass of acronyms: CERA, BABIP, WAR … BARF. “Analytics.” That’s a fancy-shmancy way of describing all the good folks who grew up watching baseball dreaming about math class. Groton - They are “analytics” people now.
