Blown Saves

Blown Save So you just blew a 3-run lead in the last inning and lost the game.

You’ll never pitch again, right? Wrong. Sure, it’s a little disappointing, but it’s a game. It’s not Major League Baseball, it’s wiffleball. For many people, it ranks somewhere around hopscotch and Chinese checkers. It’s not a big deal.

We’ve had our share of outbursts in MLW. It happens to all of us. We’ve had bats thrown and wrist watches smashed after a strikeout, buckets of wiffleballs kicked over after allowing a home run, and lots of swearing in general. While there’s nothing wrong with showing a little frustration when you’re overtaken with emotion, once you do it, you’ll probably wish you acted differently.

The best thing you can do is laugh it off, and maybe even congratulate the person who got the best of you. Just try harder next time, and you just might upset someone else instead.
