4 2/3 innings  1k 0 walks 5 hits

I threw the ball fairly well.  The first inning I got hit pretty hard but I actually had some luck because they hit it right at people.  After that I did a pretty good job of keeping the ball down and missing barrels.  My scap muscle is not 100% but it is tolerable.  Please keep the prayers coming I need them.  My next start is Saturday.

Threw in a rookie ball game tonight.  Gave up 4 hits 3 of them were jam shots.  Gave up 1 run but it was an improvement.  Curveball was decent and the fastball was good.  I am flying to Peoria tomorrow to join the team.  It is the low a level in Illinois.  Thanks for your support and prayers are appreciated.

Sorry I know its been a while since I've posted.  I had a knot in my lat muscle that was causing a lot of aggravation so they sent me to Mesa to rehab and let it rest a little.  I am feeling better and I am throwing in games this week so if all goes well then I should be able to get out of here fairly soon.  Ill keep you updated.

5 innings 8 hits 4 runs 2 walks 2ks

Out of their 8 hits they hit 3 hard.  They had 4 ground ball hits and one little flare.  This outing was pretty much bad luck.  I had to make change in my mechanics and it really affected my feel for my secondary pitches, so I didn't throw them very well.  But overall I threw the ball pretty well, just had some tough luck.

Got stroked

5 innings 3 runs on 5 hits 1walk 2ks

I threw the ball very well today.  The fourth inning is when they got their runs but I made some pretty good pitches that they just hit.  I had really good control of my fastball today.  The vulcan was pretty good.  I started losing it towards the end of my outing though.  I only threw 69 pitches but they said they had to throw some other guys so I was pretty aggravated I didn't go more than 5 but that's out of my control.  This has been my best outing yet.  I am frustrated I keep getting losses but that's just how things are going for me right now.  But I got a lot of good feedback from my coaches and teammates.  Im getting better but not where I need to be yet.  Thanks for the prayers and support.

4 innings 3 runs on 6 hits 0 walks and 1k

Lot better day today.  I got a 9 out of 12 ground ball outs.  I gave up two hits that just found a hole in the infield and one flare over second base, so they only hit 3 balls hard.  I only threw two off speed pitches because my two seam was working so well but I also was having a problem throwing first pitch strikes.  I threw a lot of strikes, but that first pitch strike is key.  I was also on a lower pitch count due to missing a start from hurting my back.   But there were a lot of positives to take from this despite getting another loss.  I can feel myself getting better and I am working hard everyday.  Thanks for the prayers and support and please keep them coming.  James 1:12
