Maybe so but you can't make 6 - 7 errors either.

I am not sure what you mean by your comment and I am not making any excuses, my only point is you can't even have a chance of beating anyone no matter how good they are with 6-7 errors.

My comment is simple. There is always an excuse....we made too many errors. That usually causes point totals to go up, however, Bourbon had very few unearned runs tonight and yes they did capitalized on bad decisions that were made.....not errors. Campbell didn't have that many errors, they portrays the win by Bourbon as not as note worthy because Campbell made so many mistakes. The score would only be adjusted by maybe a run or 2 from true "pure" errors.

Campbell did have that many errors. Ball went off the right fielders glove, 2 bad throws at second, 2 missed grounders at short stop and there were 1 or 2 missed grounders at 3rd.

memyselfandi makes great points. I wasn't at the game, but if you make that many mistakes, which appears to be all errors, it is hard to beat anyone, and from the looks of it they were mostly routine plays.

It's hard enough to beat a team like Bourbon playing mistake-free softball. When you make several errors, you give yourself zero chance.

Grounders throug 3rd were solid hits, not errors. That's my point, they get used as an excuse.

 

I understand that you have to play error free ball to win games but there wasn't that many"errors".

I was at the game jimmy, and i can tell you that a hard hit ball past a player that didn't react fast enough or even had enogh time to react is not an error. 2 missed grounders at short is not an error, that description implies that the SS could not get to them is not an error. 2 bad throws at second is borderline. 1 throw wa mid collision and was not fully seated in her glove to make pay. Really ont know te 2nd throw.

If we are going that far, is theplay at home wen the catcher dropped the ball during sliding collision at plate an error?

 

The word error is thrown around too freely to justify the situation.

 

I'm done.... no more from me.

 

Bourbon played hard and brought it, they play Harrison Co. tomorrow=that's all that matters now.

Grounders that are bobbled are ERRORS!

As a cc parent, I wouldn't say anyone is making excuses... bourbon is a great team no matter if we had error or not...they are, to me, obviously a superior team...we have talent, but we are not quite yet in your league this year. Did we expect to win? I didn't. Did we hope to be more competitive? I'm sure. Your pitcher and catcher are the real deal, even if your defense is off, those two are commanding on the field!!! Congrats and good luck, I am rooting for you all the rest of the week;)

Don't take memyselfandi's comments as an excuse or a slight to Bourbon's win. All they are saying is you can't make mistakes against teams, especially very good teams, and expect to have a chance to win. Whether it was an error or a mental error sounds like Bourbon capitalized on the Camels mistakes and that's what good/great teams do. Good luck the rest of the way.

Trying not to.

 

And thank you.
