closer gets next sure thinking time type
Brad, he's the type of closer that has amnesia, he won't thinking nothing about it next time he gets out there. He'll come out at the end of the next game, and I'm sure he'll be lights-out just like he always is.

Guys think I'm staring them down, but they watch ME for signs. Why can't I do the same to them?

aggressive ball fine game gets hit lead throwing
To get us a one-run lead gets you right back into the game for us, ... You don't have to be so fine as to throwing a ball around the plate. You can still be aggressive and make them hit the ball early.
afraid ball either good hit left pitch respect
With him, you can make a pretty good pitch away or make a pretty good pitch in and he'll hit it out to either left or right field. You've got to respect that he can hit the ball out of the park, but you can't be afraid of him, for sure.
amnesia next
You have to go out and have amnesia and next day be the guy,
