Mike started
by playing long toss to warm up his arm. Gradually he and Noah moved closer
together and Mike concentrated on putting the ball in certain spots. Then he
stepped onto the bullpen mound and began throwing for real.
Pop! His fastball smacked into Noah’s mitt.
“You’ve got
good one today,” Noah shouted as he tossed the ball back.
After about
twenty warm-up pitches, Mike looked out at the Rays finishing infield practice
and stepped out of the bullpen.
“Are you
ready to go seven innings?” Noah asked, as he did before every one of Mike’s
starts.
“Seven strong,” Mike answered, and the friends tapped gloves.
