    If no one cared about stats, and they didn’t need to keep them, and keep them correctly, then we wouldn’t have a hall of fame in any sport. How do you think they
    get there, by their team winning. NOT…….. They get their based on their stats at what they’re doing, hitting,fielding, pitching, etc…
    So to say know one cares about stats, is a little strange statement. I think I know what your trying to say, but I will not put words in your mouth. But I must respectfully disagree with your comment that no one cares about stats. As far as so many people keeping up with a score book, it might be, because they know errors are made in stat keeping at some games, so they keep them. Or, it might just be they enjoy doing it, so let them enjoy it. I don’t, but I can see why someone might want to keep them. Also, its good to go back and look at them later for your own piece of mind. I never so much would be brought up about me pointing out errors in the stat keeping of a game. I’ll make sure to be a little more carefull in the future.

    14 hits and NO ERRORS is an incorrect statement. Not a negative statement about the team, just the stat reporting. The team knows what they have to do to get over the hurdle thats in front of them. They can do just that, but they just have to believe they can, and then perform as they are capable of doing. If they play mistake free ball, and hit like their hitting, they can beat anybody. Your surely intitled to your opinion ” one watching” go ahead and dance.

    Great job chiefs. However, the official scorbook on erros, hits allowed, runs allowed is wrong. But thats not a big deal. The great thing is the team is hitting the ball right now. Lets keep it going. Alex was awesome on the mound. Had it not been for a sore shoulder, I believe he would have completed a great game. Brett did a good job on the mound for the chiefs, however, as with Alex’s stats, his where reported in error. Heath came in and slammed the door shut. He was just too overpowering for the opposing team. If we can keep the defensive errors from popping up on us, we’ll be fine.

    Teamwork paid off again, it seems the more we use it the more we score and the better the team performs.

    Chiefs remember your “P’s” PROPER PREPARATION PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE. Nothing can replace that. It makes everyone on the team be able to perform at their highest level. The Coaches are providing the prepartion that the team needs, and it is up to the players to make maximum use of the preparation time.
    Believe in your Team and your Team will believe in you.
    Chiefs Plan
    Chiefs Prepare
    Chiefs Perform
    Chiefs Persevere
    Chiefs Prevail
    We are the Chiefs, our spirit is unstoppable.
