Stranger things have happened before.

I can actually see the results from meeting some of the goals, especially the ones that involve the attributes.

I'm surprised today as I had been told that the team needed me to go out and throw a couple of innings. Today we are in Connecticut again to take on the Defenders. I broke up a no-hit bid with a texas leaguer to straight away center field but we couldn't score. After getting the first hitter out in the bottom of the third, I gave up three straight hits and surrendered the first run of the game. All of a sudden manager Oliveras comes in and calls for a reliever. I don't know if something caught his eye or what but I was yanked after only pitching 2 1/3 innings and allowed only one run before the surprise hook.

Manager Oliveras explained to me that he wanted to give me one more outing before my goals deadline. He later told me that I made a good effort during the last two weeks and made 3 of my 5 goals.

Here is the new list of goals for me to reach in the next three weeks.

1.  Increase reaction time over next 7 series
2.  Increase arm accuracy over next 7 series
3.  Increase arm strength over next 7 series
4.  Have a fielding percentage of .990 or better

This is a good read. Keep up the good work.

My next time around was back home in Binghamton and we are hosting the New Britain Rock Cats. My outing was, as usual, a short one as I lasted four innings and allowed ten hit in a losing cause. During the four innings though, I struck out four, caught a pop up in front of the mound and threw out a batter who had laid down a bunt between the mound and the third base line. My battery mate even threw out a runner trying to steal third. A few batters later he was bowled over as a runner tried to score from third on a ground ball to out third baseman. My catcher held on to the ball of the out.

Thanks and I think that your video journal of the Blue Jays is great.
