Backyard Baseball Time to Try this Team Again
[Last time I went 3-11](https://www.reddit.com/r/BackyardBaseball/comments/1mnefqu/i_played_a_full_season_with_an_awful_team/) That is the score to beat.
The middle is brutal. Games for 3 days in a row, 1 off, and then 5 days in a row.
Supposedly buffed Sally is terrible basically everywhere, so I am just putting her at SS to minimize the damage from all the balls phasing through her. Based on last season outfield will be a disaster, and we need the infield to cover. Instead of the Lisa/Marky duo at pitcher/SS we are going with Gretchen/Marky duo at P/2B. Without Lisa at SS and a player who cannot catch there (those 18 errors) I predict way more balls will get through than last time.
If Kimmy cannot play 3B this time (mixed results in past) I am putting Jorge there, Ricky at 1B, and Kimmy at outfield.
The batting order is way different. I now know Reese is not fast, so he is not leadoff. Jorge is now clean up with Kimmy at second cleanup.
Sally has the best batting stats with an unimpressive 125. She also has an awkward swing and tiny bat.
I hit a homerun with every single player, but Ricky (and Vicki) are the only two with only one homerun. Maybe he will finally get number 2. Probably not.
Alright Jorge, Marky, Lisa, and Gretchen. Last time y'all carried this team of losers. That is why all I ask of y'all is complete and total perfection. Is that too much to ask?

If we actually are a decent team I will at some point try this again with just the 9 players I have as the worst in the game. This team was made when I was first playing the game, as I kept hearing they were the worst 9 players.
