The team is now 63-43, five games ahead of Arizona. We are on a four game losing streak to end the month, and I have to pitch today. I hope I can turn things around.
I won my career high 9th game last week, to make my record 9-3. My ERA has jumped to 3.13 making it the first time over three all season. Coach Olerud has shown concern with my pitching this season because my ERA and WHIP have gotten worse month by month since the beginning of the season. He doesn’t want me to be one of those pitchers that always comes out hot and fizzles down the stretch. He said, “You won’t do any good to the club if this trend continues.” Well, I hope I can reverse my ERA throughout these final two months.
Anyway, that’s it for right now. I have to go out and pitch today. Wish me luck.
Update: I got knocked around badly today. I only last 1.1 innings before being pulled. Luckily my team came back and we won 11-9.
