So cranks, the troubled 2008 campaign of the Bridgeport Orators has come to a close. The team managed only three wins the entire season, their second in existence. But it wasn't a total bust either. A lot of core players stepped up and tightened up their defensive game. If the club stays active in the future, there is no doubt they will only be improving.
As we head into winter, Team President Joe Vigorito has told us he plans to make some significant changes in the future. Namely, there will be less games scheduled for the entire season and the list of matches will likely involve more of a localized team rather than the team's practice of branching out of the Fairfield County area. Also, 1880's games will be fewer. The team has lacked the tools and roster to be competitive in these games specifically in the department of catching and pitching.
The Orators have made it their trademark to fall asleep with the bats, but late in the season that trend was turning. With a consistent core and more practices, if the team returns expect the roster to continue focusing on 1860's style hitting and fielding without a glove of course.
