Coach made Thursday's practice tough with the excuse that we'll go light tomorrow. No one else on the team tried to talk to me about the end of Tuesday's game and that was perfect for me. It's enough to have a therapist to talk to. I didn't want to tell everyone every little thing that was wrong with me. 

One thing I didn't expect was Joey coming up to me at the beginning of practice, holding out his fist. 

Feeling confused, I still took the hint and bumped his closed fist. 

"Never really got to tell you good game on Tuesday." He grinned. "Like you said, we got the mercy rule and I got the complete game shutout."

Oh! I hurried to nod. "Yes, you pitched well. And you also had that home run in the third. Keep it up."

He grinned and swaggered away, passing the twins with a smirk. 

Dave rolled his eyes. "Bro, you ain't shit yet. It was only five innings."
