First Bullpen

So yesterday i got to throw my first bullpen out here and it went pretty well. The pitching coach was impressed and said i did a good job! so i'm pretty stoked on that. I think today i find out when i'm pitching and if i'm starting or if i'm coming out of the pen. I think it'll be out of the pen though, because we already have a full starting rotation, but that doesn't bother me. I am now in Ohio for a three game series, it should be fun!

First Week of Minor Leagues

Well the trip out to Pittsburg to sign was pretty fun, minus the fact i had to get up at 430am to go to the airport. After flying to Arizona and then to Pittsburg, i was pretty exhausted, but i had to meet up with a rep from the team and then check out the Pirates and Orioles game that was going on. After a few innings i left because i was exhausted from my trip. I went o bed at 930pm which was the earliest I've ever been to bed before. I woke up at 4am and couldn't fall back asleep so i had to stay up until 7am which was when my physical was. So after my physical i got to watch more of another game while i waited for my physical to go through. After that i officially signed my papers and got shipped out to state college to meet the team i'll be playing on. After meeting a few of the guys, i got my gear and then went to my hotel to sleep. The next day we headed out Jamestown NY to play our first road series. It was a pretty uneventful trip, but our first game yesterday got rained out, and today isn't looking any better. More to come, time to go to the field.
