Oh man, I'm really feeling it today.
Both games yesterday were nine innings, and halfway through the second I was just crashing hard. Felt liable to boot a routine grounder if it was hit to me. Had a good game, turned a double play (nice way to start things off your first game with a new team), but everything from the knees to the quads to whatever other bundle of nonsense is in my legs was just feeling worn down. Two more today, too, though yesterday's games figured to be the toughest.
Count is at 83 games (some partial, but some longer than others) and over 300 at bats now. Should get up near 110 based on current pace.
Definitely have a lot of respect for the pros, they must be constantly playing tired or banged up, even with their obviously superior level of conditioning.
