Another Loss to Learn From

One of the most boring overused cliches talks about the upside of learning from losses. As annoying as it may be, it's true. If you don't take something away from them, they've only been a waste of your time. Today, it wasn't the Whitecaps' loss that taught me anything. It was my inability to get the broadcast on air.

A weak wireless connection put us in an awkward situation. The equipment was useless, because the computers couldn't get a quality signal from the router. It was a place where I knew there were some issues, but I thought the ones in the past were because of the bad weather there last time.

It was incredibly frustrating to deal with the situation tonight, especially given the weather (which was almost an issue for the second time at that field and the third time this season against that team [the Hyannis Mets] alone).

Now, it's a matter of finding a solution by Saturday, when we're back at the same field. It's amazing how simple it makes things when you have plenty of time and the right resources. Hopefully by the next post, I'll have good results to share.
