I know it is spring training. I know spring training games do not matter. I know that it was the Phillies and not the Braves who beat the Mets last year for first place. Still, based on the history of the Braves, there is something that, to me, makes this feel a little more than “Just a spring training game”.
Mike Pelfrey may very well feel the same way. This is still part not only of his spring training but of his training experience. He is fighting for a slot in the rotation. Based on his first performance and based on the status of El Duque, perhaps Pelfrey has a better chance of being the number five starter than originally thought.
He just needs to keep his focus because whether you are training for the Olympics, taking course in computers for a new career in that field, taking Plumbing Courses, or fighting for a spot in the rotation, focus is the key. When you start worrying about what will happen, or might happen, you often lose your focus. So far, Pelfrey seems to have great focus. Let’s hope it stays.
