almost believe die establish natural rookie starting sure time until whatever year
It's kind of a natural progression. The guy's got the stuff. He's starting to believe in himself, too. The first time up -- rookie year or whatever -- until you establish yourself, you're never sure if you belong. You feel like you almost live and die with every outing.

We scored some runs to give him a little breathing room. He pitched good. He got out of some big jams.
