This is one I've needed. I've been waiting for an outing like this. It came on a good day.

Each day, it just seems like there's one or two balls that I catch that I have no business catching those balls. And there's one or two balls that I should catch that I miss. It's kind of give and take. Each time I go out there, it feels more and more comfortable.

I'm learning every day. He's been a joy to work with.
