Journal of Julien Henri
Steve Green is just 1 for 9 on the season. But, the 1 hit? A two run homer to right field in the top of the first inning staking us to a lead we would not give up. Le Diamant wins 3-1 behind the stellar arm of Sebastian Vautier.
Walid Michel and Alaine Bayle or a combined 0 for 8 in left field. I think I'm ready to play more often when I'm not pitching. I'm set for CF every fifth game. Back up to RF and 1B. But, how do I stay sharp batting in only 40% of the games.
I'm not saying anything beyond my journal notes but I do hope the skip gives me more opportunities. Alize says I'm being impatient. She is probably right. I mean, I am just 20 years old. She tells me, "Julien, you are barely an adult making over $10 K per year. Do you know how lucky you are?"
It's true, but, I tell her it isn't really about the money. I just love to play the game. I'd play for half that amount of money. And, if I wasn't playing pro ball, I'd be playing softball on a sandlot or a wiffle ball in someones back yard while working as a baker. 'Put me in Coach'.
