Season-Ending Emotions

It happens after the end of every season, but just curious how everyone deals with all of the roller-coaster of emotions when their season ends. You have the seniors, who, for most of them, is their last time playing baseball. Of course, you have that void knowing that all the hard work and energy is gone because there is no practice on Monday. You have the pain of losing. Lots of series went three games this year and losing in three is tougher than losing in 2. I think of Grants and Mayfield-those kids, parents and coaches must be really hurting after losing in such close games.

For those who are out, just curious how others cope with the emotions. For me, I need to just decompress for a week or so, clear my head and support my son and his team through another off-season. Glad we have another off-season because they will end at some point.

Thoughts on pitching at state

The armchair experts (myself included) might think they can figure out the whole state tournament in advance by looking at the pitching matchups. But a lot of good teams have lost this weekend with their ace on the mound. Guys who dominate all year don’t always pitch that way at state, for a lot of reasons:

1. Tough competition
2. Nerves
3. Shaky defense behind them
4. Fatigue from a lot of innings thrown over the season
5. Umps with tight zones
6. Big, fast fields in ABQ that give up a lot of extra-base hits
7. Bum luck

It’s HS baseball, a lot can happen.
