baseball behind both coming elevates ends guy playing pushing radar somebody supposed wrapped
That's the way baseball is, ... I wouldn't say he's off the radar screen. I've been on both ends of it. I've been the guy coming up pushing somebody from behind and I've been the guy who's getting pushed. If that elevates both of our games, that's what it's supposed to do. Getting too wrapped up in who's playing right now is not the way to go about it.
