Toughest Season

The toughest season of the year is the winter. It's been that way for years. Ancient tribes had to plan ahead and really struggle to make it past the winter. Well, on a much smaller scale, it's going to be hard for me to keep this blog going through the winter. There won't be any college ball to talk, and obviously the only thing MLB is doing is signing free agents. You know what, I'll make due. Well, if my standard is like three a month like I've been doing, it'll be a breeze.

I'll deal with the winter thing when it comes. Right now, I have just three practices left this fall, and it's kind of depressing. Although, yesterday was the most beautiful day, and we had a scrimmage outside, it was great times. There were a lot of good signs, both team-wise and personally.

But knowing how few practices are left, and that it'll be so long before I step out onto the field, it really motivates you to take advantage of every second you are out there. And with this beautiful weather, there isn't much more you can wish for.

Right now, I'm just going to go out, make sure I'm enjoying every second out there, but also make sure I'm aware of what I'm doing. These fall practices are going to allow me to assess where my game is and where my game needs to improve. Right now, I need to not do too much behind the dish, make sure I throw to bases and not fielders, and get my hands back when hitting. That's obviously not everything, but that is what I can control for now.
