    The author uses an analogy fallacy by comparing Shelton to a Major League Baseball left-hander and himself feeling like a 'pitcher who's thrown too many pitches, way over his pitch count.' This is an informal fallacy as it does not add any logical value to the argument and is used for rhetorical effect.
    • Ben Shelton compared himself to a Major League Baseball left-hander after a painful shoulder prevented him from playing his best in a 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 third-round loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime at the French Open that concluded on Saturday after being suspended a night earlier because of rain. “Feel like a pitcher who’s thrown too many pitches, way over his pitch count,” he said.
    • I mean, I could go out there. I could play tennis. I could put the ball in the court. Sure, I had a little bit of pain. But I’m going to go out there and play.
