It's just like staying away from them and not talking about it, right?

So you mentioned on start day you're a different guy.

What's that guy like?

Who was the craziest that you played with on start day, and why was it Max Scherzer?

Yeah, you don't talk to him.

If you try to take him out of the game, he'll be like, get the fuck off my mound.

I don't want to come out.

He's like a dog that you can't pet.

Yeah, you just got to stay away.

If I was Dave Roberts, I would plan that into my managerial strategy and do like a fake pull from the game where I go out to the mound before he needs to come out, let him yell at me, and be like, okay, all right, yeah, you're right, you're going to stay in, and then take him out an inning later.

Like you got to plan that ahead of time.

Yeah, did you ever successfully lobby a manager like, hey, no, you're not taking me out of this game?

You could have been like Jason Bateman.

Meet me in the locker room after the game.

Yeah.

I want to go back.

This has been awesome.

I got a couple last questions.

We really appreciate you coming on.

2013, back to that season.
