everybody last life likes love missing since velocity
It was very difficult. He just hasn't been the same pitcher. His velocity was down, and he had no life on his fastball. That has been missing since last year. Personally, I love him and the way he plays. Everybody likes him.

I feel that even if we don't win another game, we beat Superman in the ninth. That's something I haven't seen in a long time. Anytime they bring that guy in, everybody knows the game is over.

I've seen it happen. You think you're going to get better, and you get worse.

I've seen him pitch a lot. He looks stronger physically from what I've seen and seems to be throwing harder. He's (looking) a lot better.

It would've been worse if I was watching the game, but I didn't see any of it.
changed deal dealing easy man since
It was very hard, but it was easy because when you deal with a man like that, everything is easy. I've been dealing with him since he was 22. He hasn't changed as a person.
