If you haven't noticed, this week's theme is quotes from the movie "Major League". The title of this post describes the lack of fielding by Roger Dorn in the movie. This can also apply to the fielding of the Atlanta Braves last night. Chipper Jones and Matt Diaz made errors that led to two unearned runs allowing the Nationals to beat the Braves 4-3. The pitching was spectacular. Kenshin Kawakami allowed 2 earned runs in 5 innings, but could not get out of the sixth inning due to the errors by Jones and Diaz. The bullpen was good again, throwing three shutout innings. The Braves tallied 9 hits and had some chances to win, but could not get the job done. The series ends tonight as Jair Jurrjens takes the mound for the Braves.
The Ball State baseball team travels to Columbus, Ohio today to play #23 Ohio State. game time is 635p. It will be a battle of freshman as Cal Bowling will start on the mound for the Cardinals and Ross Oltorik will start for OSU.
Brownsburg's much-awaited series with Noblesville will be rescheduled for a later date. Noblesville plays Zionsville on Thursday and Saturday with their prom on Friday. Brownsburg plays Hamilton SE on Friday and Saturday. I will keep you updated on the rescheduled dates for the Noblesville series.

I did note the quotes before you announced it in todays post. Fielding - If Chris Dickerson doesn't drop the fly ball vs. Cubs, its 2 out runners on first and second rather than bases loaded, 1 out and the 3 run flood gate ready to burst.
