Game Recap

Officially, the home team is saying it is too early to panic about Tom Foolery.

The Florida-born right-hander made his first start for the team, and aside from a perfect first inning, there were problems. The Future Plans team pounded him for six runs on six hits in three innings, including two home runs.

As first spring starts go, it left a lot to be desired, but the key for Tom Foolery was that it was his first spring start.

''Not good,'' Foolery said beside his locker after being pulled from the game. ''My control was not very good today. Today, every pitch was high in the zone. It was my first start. I'm not happy, but it doesn't matter to me.''

Foolery was emphatic when asked if stomach problems may have led to his evening's problems.

''I feel good, I feel fine, that's it,'' he said. ''I need to work with my control, definitely. I don't worry about my speed. My control, it's a worry for me.''

The Future Plans team dominated the entire evening's matchup with Tom Foolery's lackluster performance being only one of the team's problems, as the team's batting performance was easily the worst seen in several years. Perhaps, when the team returns for a home game, Tom Foolery will have better luck. Let's all hope so.
