You never know exactly what to expect.

Bobby Cox called them the propeller heads.

We have massive baseball ops department and R&D advance.

Last year, going into the season, we had projections as the second best team in baseball behind the Dodgers.

That didn't work out.

We thought we had a good team.

You have no idea what you're going to get in terms of wins, especially the first 60 games.

Don't get me wrong.

It's nice.

I'm glad we're in this position, but it's beginning of June and

I've been here eight years.

This is year nine now for me.

And I've lived it all.

I've lived being under .500 in August, coming back to win the division, win the World Series.

We've been eight games back of the Mets, chase them down at the end of the year, and come back to win the division.

So until you get to September, even then, I don't think you ever breathe easy.

Look, in terms of one part of the ball, like you said, we've been pretty balanced the entire year.

We had goals going into the year, so we thought we'd have depth in the rotation.

We definitely put an emphasis to solidify the bullpen and make that deep.

We gave Suarez a standard.
