Despite playing in his backyard, Ernie was feeling down, and his batting boost was less than normal so that I didn’t know if he’d be able to hit the ball well enough to hit it out – and that was almost necessary for him to get on base, since his running was all the way down to a slow slow 4! To put the cherry on top, his fielding was also somewhat worse than normal, opening up an increased possibility of errors at first base. Unfortunately, right off the bat I was hit with a setback as two of my kids were having bad days. Up to this point, they’d gone 2-1, with their best performance being an 18-run differential game.

I’d need to put up good performances to do so, however, and that was far from guaranteed. From his performances in the first three games, I judged him as a good player capable of putting up really high numbers, but also one who scored low enough often enough that I could theoretically beat him.

For the first week, I would be playing both of the teams coached by AreYouTyler. With the fourth week of competition, the league was moving out of divisional play, and I would now start an eight-game series where each team would play the other teams in their league, but outside of the division. Week 3 was a rough one for me, especially the second game where I lost to the AI for the first time in this league.
