I was throwing mostly fastballs and had pretty good location. I was able to keep the ball down and work quickly.
That was a heads-up play. I was behind him (backing up), and he saw the throw didn't have enough to get the runner. So he ran up where he could get the ball cleanly and make the throw. That made it two outs and no on, instead of (the potential for) an add-on run. The damage was over.
I say this respectfully. He's a freak. He's a very good hitter without a strike zone. He can hit the ball in, hit the ball off the plate away, hit the ball up and go get the ball that's down. He covers the plate, and beyond.
I let Guerrero get his arms extended, and while that's usually a mistake to any power hitter, it isn't necessarily so to him. He has no strike zone. He'll hit the ball below the zone, the ball away, and he'll cheat inside and put good wood on it. So you choose your poison.
The balls they hit were elevated in the (strike) zone. It was a mater of making the adjustments to keep the ball down and get some ground balls.
He can hit the ball out of the park anywhere, probably out of the Grand Canyon.
This will be a team that could possibly have the ability to surprise some people.
To me, more or less, I'm trying to find the feel for it. Where am I mentally? Where am I physically? And try to build from there.
I didn't locate well. That usually causes problems, for me especially.
Rest is obviously a key in the offseason.
I probably didn't put forth the effort I should have put forth, didn't realize the value of education until I went to college.
If you're a doctor or a lawyer or teacher, if you only get three things right out of 10, you're considered a failure.
I've pitched too many innings and pitched too many years - one game doesn't make or break my career.
I was raised in a very blue-collar family.
