We had intersquad today. I got to throw two innings and they went well. The first inning I got 3 ground balls in a row. They made me stay out there for a fourth batter to reach my pitch count and I struck the fourth guy out. The next inning, the leadoff guy hit a slow roller between the first baseman and me. I ran it down and it went in and out of my glove and then I kicked it so that guy was safe. Got a double play ball the first pitch of the next at bat but the second baseman bobbled it and they only got the guy at second. I got the next guy to fly out and the batter after him to ground out, so I got out of the inning with no damage done. Faced and extra batter and the count got to 3-2 and I jammed him inside but he hit a little flare that landed in between short and left. I made a good pitch but he came out on the winning end. The fastball was good today. I didn't hit every spot but when I missed, it was low, which is a lot better then missing high. Every vulcan I threw was a strike. It wasn't really dirty today, but it was solid. I threw two sliders. One was crap but the other was really good. So I'm happy with the outing today. I was trying to focus on keeping the ball low and getting guys out with my fastball. Still not where I want to be but I feel that I am heading in the right direction. Please keep the prayers coming. I have a long way to go but I really feel positive about the direction I am heading.
