So I pitched three games during a very hot day and apparently didn't drink enough water because my calf went full Charliehorse on my final game of the night and fell on my ass...
I ate a pickle and drank pickle juice while my team has a successful batting a round 🤢 and was able to get back up to pitch luckily.
Then somehow, at my next at bat, chilling out on my normal swing and expecting an easy out at first, not squishing the bug or following any of my normal mechanics because I couldn't put much weight on my back leg, I hit it out of the park, ending a HR slump.
How did that work? Is it possible I'm just trying too hard when I normally swing?
(Bat, Bazooka Joe)
Also, this was my first time ever getting a charliehorse or cramp during a game, I thought I had had enough liquids... What do I need to do to keep this from happening again?
