My guess is he'll pitch. You don't get yourself in shape to do what he's going to do now and then go home.
I guess it was fitting; it was incredible. After last night's exhausting game, to play as well defensively as we did today was hugely important.
I don't like it. When you make the deals I guess between networks and baseball, it's all about revenue.
My guess would be that this would be it.
My guess is, if he was ready he would have been the name they gave me, and it wasn't.
My feelings are deep disappointment, ... I don't remember being this disappointed, because I wanted this very badly. I guess that's why you're in the game. It's just - it's tough. It's tough.

I didn't say we had to stop there,
My only concern was that he'd alienate himself from the rest of the club but I didn't see that happen.
They are a thunder. They can put winning streaks together before you blink your eye.
