Three weeks ago, everyone said it would be an exhibition. Now that we've lost, it's a World Series. Any time you put on a USA uniform in any sport, there are ramifications. This is a big disappointment.
We know he's got a very fine arm, and he throws 96-97 and throws all his body at you. I took some good swings, he challenged me, and you tip your cap.
There's no question it was a momentum changer.
It gave us a little fire in our bellies to get going a little bit.
I live off my scholarship refunds. Because of my erratic schedule, I can't work but my scholarship money helps with my expenses.
