Okay. Deep breath. You allowed a couple doubles, but you still have some breathing room. You just need one more out. Here comes their best player. AL MVP a couple years ago.
SLAM. Ball meets garage door. Wrong square. 1-0.
Tomorrow I’ll be in trouble for all the dents I can see clustered there, but right now I’ve gotta focus. Dinner is soon. Gotta get him out and save the day for the Mariners.
SLAM. Boom, nailed it. 1-1
Feel good about that slider I learned from my Nolan Ryan book.
