My round of goals ended and the only one that passed was the one for fielding percentage. I caught a pop up on the third base line between 3rd and home for my only putout. I think that the first baseman is getting pretty discusted because I'm not reacting quickly enough to get to the bag on balls hit in the hole between 1st and 2nd bases.

I have received a new round of goals to try to obtain.

1.  Increase h/9 attribute over next 5 series
2.  Increase durability over next 5 series
3.  Allow 10 or less earned runs over next 5 series
4.  Have WHIP of under 1.75 over next 5 series
5.  Have at least 12.2 innings pitched over next series

I have two weeks to get these done.

We are on the road again as we head towards the "Constitution State" to take on the Connecticut Defenders.

I got off to a great start, allowing only 1 hit for the first three innings, while striking out 3. I scattered seven hits in my career high eight innings of work, allowing only a single run in the 3rd inning, and striking out a career high six batters. I was lifted for a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth but this was a great moral boost for me. I even got my first hit of my career! I am batting .200 (1 for 5).

Between starts I decided on getting more break and velocity on my pitches, along with working on my goals, and got a stern warning in return from manager Oliveras telling me to train to focus more on making my advancement goals.

I hope that my previous start wasn't a fluke because it was business as usual as I faced the Phillies for the third time this season. I was gone after the fifth inning after allowing four runs on ten hits during the five innings that I pitched. We got beat again, 5-1, as the bats seem to go quiet whenever it is my turn on the mound.

This is my last scheduled start for May and we are back in Connecticut to take on the Defenders. It was payback time as far as Connecticut was concerned as the leadoff hitter started the game with a home run just inside of the left field fair pole and my outing finished in the bottom of the fifth right after a 2-run home run had made the score 6-0 Defenders. I continued to get no run support at all as the team is averaging less than 2 runs per start.

Thanks for dropping in.

At least with Mr. Ryan struggling, we can see how he improves and develops over the course of the season and his career.
