One-hitter, first-person account

My morning Email included a player blog provided by minor league RHP Ryan Tatusko for a comprehensive Rangers fan blog, the Newberg Report.

Tatusko wrote that he had a blog entry already prepared, but he changed to another topic because of Wednesday night’s events.

He was the starting pitcher for Bakersfield in the high Class A California League. He also finished the game – on a one-hitter, with the only hit against him in the ninth inning.

Tatusko’s blog post provided an inning-by-inning record of what he and some of his teammates were thinking during the game. It’s good reading. You can read his insights here – if you need to sign up, it’s free – and contact the pitcher/author here.
