Had my first baseball game in two years last night. We lost 12-8. I didn't see any time, partly because my contract wasn't in and I didn't have a uniform.
Okay, that's mostly why.
Anyway, I'm pitching on Friday night, against Penbrook, which happens to be my former team. That will be ridiculously interesting, and I'm trying not to psyche myself out about it. Chances are, I'll be okay...but then again, whenever I say that, I'm generally not.
My goal against Penbrook is to limit them to one base-runner per inning. If I do that, and the defense plays well...we'll be fine.
I did throw on the side last night, and felt pretty good in doing so. I threw about 30 pitches, and threw everything I have, save for the forkball, which may or may not work. The change-up has been the biggest thing, as that has really worked well so far. So, I'm pleased on that end.
I have practice tonight, and that will definitely be interesting, to say the least. I won't say why, in case any of my kids read this. I don't want to tip my hand. But it will be different from what they're expecting.
I got nothin else. Time to go get lunch.
