McLaughlin is an extremely good defensive first baseman and it's been a boost to our fielding percentage.
Seems like once a game he saves a potential error with a swipe tag when a throw has taken him off the bag.

Since I'm learning new baseball stuff, I looked up the rule for when a batted ball hits a referee. It kind of sucks in our situation as I think that could've been a double.

There were a lot of hard hit balls off Coil.
In the 9th something glitched about the box score onscreen and it went from 8-2 to 8-5. I wondered what I had missed. Then it reverted to 8-2.
I think we have a good team.
I think we can run a few pitchers out there every day.

Coil's problem is he throws too many strikes.
