Jake Peavy

Lawrence, you remember that?

It was like pitch 76 and beyond seemed to be a moment where Peavy's stuff just kind of abandoned him.

It's a great character, though.

I like that character development.

I like that character, too.

Just out.

You know, I'm happy to be here.

What an intro.

Very kind of you guys.

I'm happy to be on its opening day there, and I'm in Boston for opening day here versus the Padres.

The key there in Chicago all year is to find out what you got and what they're the best at.

It's interesting that these guys today, I think, are having an easier time than maybe so 10 years ago and certainly way beyond that of transitioning in between what a starter actually is doing and what a reliever does.

They're not very different in today's world.

A lot of them are ripping it and gripping it.

go as hard as you can for as long as you can.

You're not really doing the mixing and matching and saving some like you were taught to do, say, 15 years ago.

So I think the transition in between the starter and reliever is easier than it ever can be, and they're just going to find out where they like him best.

It's huge stuff.

I can't wait to watch alongside all of you.

You know, I'm torn between that.
