Something you have to go through to understand.

It's kind of, you know, it's sort of like having a baby, right?

Unless you've been through that, you don't really get it.

Yeah, it was completely different.

You know, every little thing about it was different.

And all I can say is just the intensity level is ramped up so much higher to where you really do feel every pitch, every out, every inning kind of wears you down more and more.

So it's much harder to retain your stuff as a pitcher.

Is it really?

Really?

Yeah, for later in the game because you expend so much emotion.

That's pretty accurate.

It is.

I think it's the emotional level, too, that gets exhausted quickly because you concentrate so hard and you give so much emotion to every pitch that it wears you down.

You do run on adrenaline.

I remember pitching in a game in 1995 against the Mariners and throwing 140-something pitches and losing that game and then going home for two weeks and laying on the couch.

Oh, my goodness.

It took me about two weeks just to get up off the couch at home when the season's over.

It's always the first, you know.

The first World Series championship with the Blue Jays in 1992 and the ticker tape parade there in Canada and Toronto was amazing.

Canada's first World Series was remarkable.
