Got to keep our chins up

There have been more ups than downs for the Navigators this season. Yet this being the half way point in the season we all know we need to keep our bats hot. It is tough sometimes when you have accomplished so much, yet you are still expected to produce. That's why playing all sports is tough, you can't worry about what you have done in the past since you are only as good as your next pitch/swing. If a player strikes out during a game sometimes the thought of getting a hit creeps in a little too much. If they don't hit the ball well the next time up then they are even more frustrated because the urge for a hit just increased. A good baseball player of course has a short memory, yet all that should be said in the case of failure is "that is baseball". I have talked about success and failure a lot on this blog, and it is really tough not to bring one of the two into every sentence, but it is how everyone reacts to it that makes the difference on each team. We all know that we are a good team, and we have the potential to do great things in this league. If we keep our heads held high and we play the way we know we can then we will.
