effort facing gets good played shouting understand won
The shouting is going to be up to the coaches, if it happens. But, when you lose, 3-0, 3-2, and you're facing a lot of good pitching, what are you going to say? We haven't won much, and I understand that gets magnified. But the effort is there consistently. Besides, this game's played on the field.

baseball beyond change difficult entire facing fortunate goes happen life might start understand wondering
It's very difficult when you start to understand you are facing a life-threatening situation. You don't know what's going happen. It goes beyond just wondering what's going to happen to your baseball career. You wonder how your entire life might change or if you're still going to be fortunate to have a life.

It's pretty scary when the doctor looks at you and says it's either your arm or your life.
