End of the season.. Entry 12

 It's that time of the year, the San Francisco Giants season is over and they fell short of the playoff by a few games. The team had a lot of potential. Started off hot and then just forgot how to play baseball. They got hot again and it happened again, they forgot to do the little things to get the wins needed to make the cut. So now they go on into the off season and are looking for a new manager. I will say this, I think they get the guy they want, they get a new pitching and hitting coach, add a few arms for the bullpen and a solid hitter and they will make the playoffs in 2026.

The Niners started off the season, they played well enough to win the first 3 games, but this last one was not good. Even though they made several costly errors and had around 8 dropped passes, they were in position to win. It's just one game so I'm not overly concerned, they have a short week and play on Thursday against the Rams. 

Fall ball has been going going good for Javi and Gabe. Javi's team is pretty solid, they seem like a good bunch. I have been able to help out during some practices, which is good. Gabe's team is currently 2-1 and aside from the first game that they were not ready for, they have played much better in the last 2. We have a challenge this upcoming weekend, it's good to see the kids progress. Going to try some outside the box things this weekend.

Yesterday I helped out with a defensive clinic for Gabe's travel ball coach. It was fun, a little under 40 kids were there and they all did pretty good on the drills. Tonight we are doing a quick session of batting practice and also talking game plan for Sunday.

It's been a lot with baseball and basketball, but I'm taking it all in, one day this will all be over and we will have to wait and see if our grandkids play sports. So, yes it's tiring, but it's also worth it. I hope one day Javi and Gabe can coach their kids and see how much fun it is.

Until next time....
