Hello and welcome to this weeks edition of Rounding Third. The season is fast approaching with the busy gents down at Ranger land making sure nothing is left to the last-minute and ready for the start of the 2015 winter season. If you have not been down to training yet make sure you pop your head in and say hello or just come down for a chat. We would love to see you. Enough about that. What else has the Rangers guys and girls been up to?
Beaker and Butts Big boys toys
Over the weekend Cam “The Soak” Scott was happily painting his house. He was so blissful in this approach that he posted on-line about painting. Not one to miss a chance Rob “Butts” Seymour and Rob “Beaker” Barbour told The Soak he had changed! Should be getting in the Jeep and having a good time. The Soak was a little confused. It was all cleared up when Buttsy was photographed in Beakers toy World War 2 Jeep. Rumour has it he may have fallen asleep a little later…..maybe Beaker?
The trip has been decided…..
Over at Yarrawonga footy on Sunday The Rangers Brains trust of Scott Jenkins, Kyle Gilmore, Kelsey Burder and Daniel Griffin were watching Dan “Chopper” McCulloch in his return to his beloved Wangaratta Rovers Football club. In between Chopper’s brilliance and on the field the conversation moved to where are we going to go for the annual baseball trip. It was put to a vote that we return to ground once covered. This time to cover it a bit more closely. Bendigo is the choice of destination. The vote passed all in favor of 4-0.
Welcome back Chopper
Speaking of Chopper he was at his exciting best on Sunday. Kyle Gilmore has said over the off-season chop has played quite a bit of FIFA and his Lebron James impersonation was impressive to watch. Unfortunately the umpires nor his direct opponent were not taking much interest in his performance. On a footballing front. Chop Smooth!
Will Mick Brownlie return to the Ranger fold?
Seen over the weekend was big lefty Mick Brownlie. Mick played for the rangers a few years back and has been throwing tons playing darts the last few years. Nathan Pool sent his scouts on a mission to see if he was interested in a few games this year. After the initial conversation was rather short, Mick warmed to the idea of maybe a few games. It would be good to have another lefty in the line up. Let’s hope so.
The Griff has the baseball bug
Fresh off his fine work for Springhurst CFA over the summer, Daniel “The Griff” Griffin has caught the baseball bug. He has bought a new glove and signed himself up to play for Greenhills Montmorency Baseball Club (otherwise known as GMBC) in the Victorian Winter Baseball League. Even better news is that he is playing the Saturdays for practice for the main game on Sundays for Wangaratta Rangers. Now that is commitment to this great game. Good luck Griff for the upcoming season.
Pooly rallying the troops.
Nathan Pool was a little concerned last week. Training numbers were about par for the time of year. he was concerned some had fallen off the radar. He put the war cry out to the Ranger faithful about the upcoming season. The faithful responded with many letting Pooly know of their intentions for the upcoming season. Now the season is not far away so come down Targoora Park and say hello and get involved in this great little club!
