Had my first game today against the Giants. The first inning I had the first batter 0-2 and threw and inside fastball that jammed him. I left it a little up though and he got a jam shot single. He stole second, but the catcher made a good throw but the shortstop didn't make the tag so he should have been out. Struck the second guy and and got a ground ball out. I got behind the next guy 3-0 but came back to make it 3-2. I made a good pitch but he stuck his bat out and hit it perfectly down the first base line. So the runner scored and I got the next guy out. Second inning I got ahead 0-2 again and tried to go inside and smoked the guy in the shoulder. I was pretty mad about that. But I got two ground balls and a strikeout to get out of the inning. I balked that inning to. It was pretty bad. But my fastball was good today. Sat 90-92 and topped 93. My location was ok, but I struggled on location when I went inside. But I kept it low for the most part and thats always better than high. Only threw one slider and I struck a guy out so I guess it was good. The vulcan was really good today. Had good control of it and it had a lot of movement. My goal so far has been to have a low pitch count and get a lot of ground balls. I have done a good job of getting ground balls so that means I am keeping my pitches on the corners, which is a lot better than what I did last year. I am feeling really good. Feel like I am getting better each outing. Thanks for the support and prayers.
