concern concerned fine hardest leg swelling
The hardest part was getting my leg up the day that I pitched because of the swelling and stuff, ... I was able to do that (Friday), so I feel a lot better. There's no concern at all. I really wasn't concerned on making my start. I'll be fine for my start.

That wasn't the reason I was so bad.

arm body far pitch
He's unbelievable. His arm and his body is so strong, if anything ever aggravates him, it's his leg. He could probably pitch for another 10 years, as far as his arm goes.

Last year, they did it without me. Hopefully, this year I can help us get past this round.

christian baseball husband
It gives me great peace to know that no matter how good or how bad I do, the Lord loves me. That's all that really matters to me. Baseball isn't what everything is about. It's about the way I'm being a Christian husband, a Christian father, or the way I'm living my life and trying to be a Christian testimony to people.
