Against that same team that had scored 20 runs a day earlier; and yes, for the same team that had exploded for 25 less than 24 hours prior.
So, at least for the time being, I’m wise enough to trust Harvard coach Joe Walsh, and trust the players themselves, once it gets down to it.
As Annie Savoy exhorts me to, I will remember that it is only three days into a long season, after all.
But my mind can’t help but lapse, from time to time. I can’t help but fear that at this rate, the season could still turn out to be downright offensive.
In more ways, unfortunately, than one.
