baseball counts high hurt last later low might month pitch played throw trying
I don't want to see high pitch counts because they might get hurt later in the season. Last year, they played another month of baseball that they never did before. I'm trying to keep the pitch counts low to keep them fresh. If you throw 130-140, in the end you'll pay. Don't overdue it.

Every time I hear the national anthem here, I look over at the center-field scoreboard and I can't wait until those planes fly over it in the World Series, ... You will cry, because that's the greatest feeling. I've seen it before. If I get to do it with this ballclub ... whoa, that's going to be the best feeling ever.

I think with our offense, the way we're hitting right now, we're going to take advantage of every mistake any team makes. I don't how well we're hitting with two outs, but we're doing a pretty good job.
