i was quite depressed after watching the demoralising softball match just now. hci lost to vjc. it was really a tragic loss especially when we were supposed to win. i don't think it was over-confidence, but more of stress level that that poor pitchers were suffering from. they were completely off form. they played like amateurs; it was that bad. they gave uncountable free walks to the opposing team. i sympathise with them. i don't blame them because i know pitching isn't easy. i have pitched before and i totally sucked at it, it's even more difficult than batting. at the end of the whole game, i saw the pitcher reproaching himself very badly; he teared. i felt a sense of helplessness, i am sure he felt it too. i have seen him pitch before in our previous match against jurong jc, he was GOOD, real good!
throughout the game, i sat on the second floor and had a panoramic view of the field, hci wasn't in their top condition today, it was simply one of those days when things didn't go our way. vjc won by luck. i am sure of it. if the match had been held as scheduled last wednesday, i am positive they would have returned home victorious, there is no doubt about it.
anna told me just now that both our pitchers were damn stressed and they didn't want to go up to the field. i mean, the whole school was there and expecting a win from them, and naturally, they didn't want to disappoint us. but, it's ok really, just do your best. i feel like going up to them and giving them a pat on their shoulder to tell them that they rock.
vjc sucks. we lost to them(both guys and girls softball team). what's worse? we lost in our very own school compound. i don't like vjc. the girls were damn irritating. bleh.
