Uppercuts round 002 - Need more flex

All coaches good and bad need a team. A team to support their decisions, back their plays and run and hide when it all goes wrong and the coach starts to throw that massive container of Gatorade around in fury and frustration. This week we welcome back a familiar face to my armchair coaching and hope I have some actual flex this time when picking a team for the Urban Uppercuts.

Boss it's great to be back! And I see you've got yourself a baseball team this time around, that's great news! I once flicked past a game while trying to find a channel with the latest cattle auctions so I think I'm good to go with all the assisting you're going to need with the Urvan Uppercats!

Er...that's The Urban Uppercuts there Mantaur but welcome to the team anyway.
Once upon a time he was wrestling as a man bull for the WWF/WWE, nowadays he's my assistant, helping drive good teams into the ground since...uh...only last year.

Anyway, moving on because we're into another week of action for my ill fated Baseball team The Urban Uppercuts. Last week our hero Manny put on a great show but we were let down by both Flex players, not doing any flexing. Or something. 

Can we inject some flex into things this week? 

After their stellar performance from last week, both Julio Urias and Manny Machado come back to play again. The latest Uppercuts rookie Andres Munoz also gets to don the team cap while everyone else is new. It's a chance for players like Stallings, McCarthy, McMahon and Giolito to prove their worth. 

And even if the team turns to absolute bull droppings, well we still get another player anyway, so it's win win here coach!

Can't argue with that possibility there Man Beast. Team, you've been picked now go forth and do...something!

THE RESULTS ARE IN!

And while we got the flex we were looking for, we fell a little short in both the pitching and team hero departments..

Manny had a shocker. 

McCarthy had a shocker.

Urias had a shocker. Actually wait no, he didn't play at all. 

Everyone else though? A pretty good game really!

Score: 75% - not behd, good size!

Plus because we turned up and gave this game a red hot poke, we also get a new player boss. I wonder who's it going to be? WHO'S IT GONNA BE?????

Okay, calm down cow catcher. Joining the Urban Uppercuts for season 2022 is..

If Marco Gonzales had a quarter for every stupid 'Marco Polo' joke he's heard in the last five years then he could afford a nice cup of coffee and possibly a slice of pie, not a big one though. Being a starting pitcher he's always the first one there, same with meetings and parties which is impressive because as a kid he barely started his homework most of the time..
