By far. He's greater than any pitcher I ever faced.
If you asked me today, I'm doing the world baseball deal and (then) I'm going to go watch baseball.
Hopefully, we're moving into reaching for higher places, ... The opportunity is there. You know, we see it and hear it and it might not come around again and we might not have that opportunity. We know that there are a handful of us that are a little bit older on this club and might not get that chance, so in that sense there is an urgency.
How about it? We're going to go see it. We're going to dance and do a little something.
How, ... can you not believe in it?
I don't think that guys need to even concern themselves with if Washington is going to help us or not. Just go out there and do it.

I don't think I'm ever going to be too far behind. Right now, my arm is a little bit ahead of the curve. I want to make sure my legs are where they need to be.

College baseball, I love it. I love to work with the younger kids who are trying to live out their dreams, if in fact that's what they plan on doing after college to take the next step.
But I got a guy on third, I was in a jam the other day in a game, all those situations, when you need a strikeout there, in big spots. But we are very aware of that fact, that these guys put the ball in play.
