It gives your team a big boost. It not only helps the pitcher throw strikes, it takes pressure off the other guys to not try to do too much. We're rolling now and we have to keep it going.
That was like another player who put up those numbers, ... That wasn't me. A lot of people around here have told me you just have to throw out last year, and that's what I'm trying to do.
I know he throws a lot of sliders, ... He throws hard but usually his fastball is just to keep you honest.
I had a game plan going up there. I know he throws a lot of sliders. He throws hard, but usually his fastball is just to keep you honest. And I stuck with the game plan of going up there looking for a slider and just not trying to do too much.

It doesn't matter to me. I've always been in the middle of the lineup anywhere.
I still feel it grab a little bit. If it was September or something I would definitely gut it out, but since it's the first week, I'll probably give it another day or so.
Kenny Williams showed me on paper what the makeup of this team would be like. I always know that from being around this game, pitching and defense wins,
It brings back memories. I think it's something you may think about every now and then. It's something I'll never forget and at the same time, it's another season and I just have to get ready.
