Part of that might have been the scores were 17-10 and 15-1, but I am in good condition. Hammys and lower back sore, and I was moving like I had lead in my feet in back half of game 2.

What do you guys do to make the transition from non-working to working games, or from other sports to Baseball? How long before your body is ready to do heavy loads of games without too much soreness?

I will go to local high schools and colleges and call pitches during their bullpen and live hitting sessions. This gets my eyes ready. I also bring a video camera for the first few sessions so I can see myself on tape.
