No walks!
I felt pretty good today, except that my fastball escaped me almost completely. Five runs on eight hits. Just kept dangling a fastball right in the middle of the plate--you cannot do that to Major League hitters. Bad Richie.
But I had six strikeouts. I know, I know, k's don't mean much, but I love getting strikeouts. I was more nervous today than usual. I bit my nails totally down to stubs. I was jittery, too. Eh. Oh well. If it wasn't the Cubs, I'd've been fine. And even though I lost, I felt really damn good out there. Felt like a regular season game, you know? Though I gave up five runs and lost the game, so maybe it's good that it's only spring training.
I'm in the process of e-mailing my sister, so I'll have to talk more later.
Oh, and Ben, you're kind of scary and tall.
