competitor definitely earned last miraculous pitcher respect year
I thought last year was a miraculous year for him. And he definitely earned my respect last year as to what kind of pitcher he was, what kind of person he was, what kind of competitor he was.

Shows you how talented he is. Last year he won 15 games ... re-establishing himself,
camp good last leaving matter prove questions remember
If I remember correctly, we had some questions leaving camp last year. No matter how good you are - and we have to prove we're good - there are going to be questions.
competition last nice sure toughest weeks

Ray may have recently suffered a little loss of confidence, and confidence comes by succeeding,
