From a Good Swing on Tuesday's Blip...

to this swing. A couple of games ago I showed Merrick a picture of his right hand coming off the bat on his follow-through. Not good. Both hands should stay on the bat all the way through the swing.

One of the troubles he gets into is swinging at a high pitch. This pitch was just under his chin. He did settle down after the swing, and drew a base on balls.

Our team didn't look terrible, but we did go down to defeat, and Im guessing the score was 13 or 14 to 7. My picture angles were bad, so I shot most of my pictures from beyond the right field fence.

Our record is now 2 wins and 3 losses.
