care competing help pitch stay sure today trying
I'm just trying to take care of what I need to take care of and stay away from everything else. Today sure doesn't help things out. You want to pitch well when you're competing for a spot. When you don't pitch well, it's frustrating.

I'm not trying to hit anybody first time out.

above bat broken cover definitely path pitchers situation took
Pitchers don't get hit, really, that often, especially above the chest. A broken bat is a situation where I have to cover first base, and that took me right into the path of the bat. It's definitely odd, but it happens. What are you going to do?
catch headed playing
Playing catch for the first day, I didn't really feel it at all. I think I'm headed in the right direction.
