I began to whistle, 'The Yellow Submarine' on the couch with my parents and my dad picked it up and started to whistle it, too. He then told me a story of a club, now shuttered, of the same name. Thought you might like that.<br /><br />A lovely Family Adventures post, Squid.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-69658170374212816642012-05-29T22:59:12.579-04:002012-05-29T22:59:12.579-04:00Naturally, I do have ideas.

...Naturally, I do have ideas. Just riffing here...<br /><br />Pack the infield with your most experienced players. Then go by who has the longest throw to first. Strongest, most accurate arm should be at third, then short, then catcher, then second, finally first. Let them play the whole game unless they want a break. Rotate the outfielders in and out.<br /><br />Front load the kicking order because you want to be sure your best kickers have the most opportunities. Otherwise, just think baseball: fastest player first, reliable contact kicker second, best kicker third, then load for power.<br /><br />Bunting - the sabermetrician in me thinks bunting to get on base is good but bunting to sacrifice is bad. Maybe playing small ball is okay if it's the bottom of the fifth and you only need one run. Otherwise, get people on base and keep them moving.<br /><br />Team captain (or otherwise designated manager type) should discuss strategy with upcoming kickers.<br /><br />All else being equal, it's best to kick to the third base side because that means the longer throw to first.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-78339434772783890232012-05-29T20:32:47.252-04:002012-05-29T20:32:47.252-04:00If only I could whistle....
