Analysis of the Koch Blockers

First, there were the WhyBunts. Then, there were the Fowl Swingers. Now, the only team worth playing against are the Koch Blockers. And I don't mean this because we beat them and yeah, we have a pretty good team that could likely trounce them on both spots on the field. No, I say this because their attitude towards a slow pitch, no strikes softball game is perfectly adjusted for a Kentucky Fried team.

The game was over so quickly that there wasn't a whole lot of time to evaluate what the other team had in hand. However, there were a few observations.

1) The lineup clearly was just sort of thrown together. Three or so solid hitters, then batting fifth was a young woman who did not know how to knock anyone in. They proceeded to string together a few women and men who had trouble with level swings, so it seems that their lineup was conceived as a 'first come, first served' basis. Therefore, one never knows what type of hitter will be at bat.

2) Adjust positions based on a batter's first swing. If they swing and connect easily, use typical positioning for their next at bat. If they swing, miss, and don't look comfortable doing so, move in. Short fielders should back up the infield for those annoying bloop shots that tend to appear with such batters.

3) The fielding wasn't too bad at all and the lady manning first base was deft at handling. Right field needed some work, but against this team it would almost be criminal to somehow aim that way. Thankfully J.C. has no such trouble.

4) One of the Koch Blockers was wearing a dress but did not play. Was this some sort of distraction technique? Is this why Will dropped the ball in the right field? We must be careful of these underhanded strategies in the future.

Overall, a fun team that might get their wits together for a future match up. However, as it stands, the Catfish are looking like the more seasoned, mildly ruthless team.
