Mike started by playing long toss to warm up his arm. Gradually he and Noah moved closer together and Mike concentrated on putting the ball in certain spots. Then he stepped onto the bullpen mound and began throwing for real.

 

Pop! His fastball smacked into Noah’s mitt.

 

“You’ve got good one today,” Noah shouted as he tossed the ball back.

 

After about twenty warm-up pitches, Mike looked out at the Rays finishing infield practice and stepped out of the bullpen.

 

“Are you ready to go seven innings?” Noah asked, as he did before every one of Mike’s starts.

 

“Seven strong,” Mike answered, and the friends tapped gloves.
