best run saves
He's having an unbelievable season. But for me, the best thing about him is his defense. He saves a run or more a game.
arm flashes fun good great movement pitcher second showing throws works
He showed flashes of it early. Second year, like everybody, is an adjustment-type of year. This year, he is showing what kind of pitcher he is. He is just dominant. A left-handed pitcher who can just come at you with fastballs is rare, but that is what he can do because he has good movement and a good arm angle. He throws strikes. He's a good pitcher. He's great for the game. He's a good person, having fun out there. He works hard.
change good hitting
Hitting is always an adjustment, so I don't really change my approach. Just try to hit good pitches.
feeling looked needs pitch sign till understand
He's going to pitch till he's 50. I don't understand it. He needs to sign with someone quick. The way he looked today, I've got a feeling he's going to sign with somebody.
caught leave man
He hasn't been caught so leave it alone. I don't think it's a story. I say leave the man alone.
future heard talk win works
I heard that they would talk in the spring, but that's about it. I think my future is here. I like it here. I want to win here. I see myself being here, but a lot of it is out of my control. If it works out, great, but it's out of my control.
agent moving telling
I'm telling you, it was horrible. I told my agent if we lose, I'm moving out of the country.
felt
I didn't know how I would feel at the plate, but I felt pretty comfortable.
five innings morning per three work
I don't see why not. At minimum, you're going to play four, five innings per game, so you're going to get your two or three at-bats. It's pretty much the same thing you do here. Work out in the morning and get your at-bats during the game.
