Update on the Nightly Recap
I was in my camp chair Wednesday night, the weather was nice and cool, I had a good wifi connection. I started digging into the boxscores and was ready to put together my first nightly recap and was thwarted.
Information overload! What am I looking for?
My first inclination was to write a 50-word recap of each game but that is sort of redundant. It isn't what I am setting out to accomplish with my nightly recap. I don't want to report the scores. I want to dig out the valuable information.
I'm looking for outlier performances, both good and bad. What starters posted quality starts? What starters bombed? Who had a great day at the plate? Who has a hitting streak? Who is in a slump?
I'd like to address the bullpens in someway and roster transactions. I'd like to highlight team trends.
I gave up on the post Wednesday night. I don't like staying up late. I am usually racked by 9PM. I don't have my sources for player and team trends.
The nightly recap has been tabled and the preseason has been extended to May 1st. I hope to come up with something in regards to this over the next week.
2-2 on practice picks, hopefully will get in a few more before we go live action next Friday.
Stay Tuned.
