I don't know if there's anyone in baseball looking for a 3-2 slider in that situation.
I don't know if we would have gotten him anyway.
He's tough. He's going to make you hit his pitch.
He's the owner of the team. He doesn't want anyone to get hurt. He's entitled to his opinion. He's The Boss.
He's always tough. It seems like his knuckleball gets tougher every time we face him.
I assume the Adrenalin will be flowing. If it's a close game and we have a chance to win the championship, it might seem like the World Series. I have no idea. I've had guys tell me the feeling is pretty special.

I assumed runs would be tough (to score) just because of the time of year. Pitching is going to get the best of hitting right now. It's tough on hitters when you're facing a new pitcher every time up.

I don't need to sell Rocket on coming here. He knows what it's like. He enjoyed his time here.
If I had to guess, I would say yes. And that has nothing to do with anything that he's told me. I have not even asked him. I haven't even said, 'Rocket, are you playing? Thinking about playing?' I haven't even brought the question up.
I don't think he's done pitching. That has nothing to do with any conversation I had with him. He loves to compete, and he pitched well.
