changes gave huge
It gave us a huge lift. I mean, it changes the game.
burden needs talked
As of right now, I haven't talked about it. If it comes up, yeah, I think it needs to be done before the season. I don't really want that burden of thought. I want to concentrate on the game.
feeling looked needs pitch sign till understand
He's going to pitch till he's 50. I don't understand it. He needs to sign with someone quick. The way he looked today, I've got a feeling he's going to sign with somebody.
arm flashes fun good great movement pitcher second showing throws works
He showed flashes of it early. Second year, like everybody, is an adjustment-type of year. This year, he is showing what kind of pitcher he is. He is just dominant. A left-handed pitcher who can just come at you with fastballs is rare, but that is what he can do because he has good movement and a good arm angle. He throws strikes. He's a good pitcher. He's great for the game. He's a good person, having fun out there. He works hard.
cubs hurting stupid tomorrow
We'll see tomorrow (Wednesday). The Cubs don't want me to play, but if I feel like I can play, I'm going to play. I'm not going to be stupid about it, but if I feel like I'm not hurting anything, I'm going to play.
expected win
We've got to perform. All the pressure's on us. We're expected to win this thing.
