I did some research on a runners forum. Sometimes Achilles pain can be cause by shoes that have a too ridged or inflexible sole. My New Balance shoes have a hard molded sole that is very stiff compared to my regular running shoes. So every time you make a fast move to get out from behind the plate the Achilles takes the brunt of the force because the the sole does not give at all.

I bought some new black Asics running shoes yesterday. Will report back after I try them. I don`t have any games until Wed.

Forgot to add that I tried K-Tape for my Achilles. I was skeptical but it helped.
