You know, those kind of things.
You're up there.
It could be early in the game.
A couple guys on base, two outs, you know, and it's a deciding pitch.
Obviously, that can matter.
But you can't be flipping coins either.
You've got to have a pretty good idea.
And then, you know, we always, if possible, you know, you like to save something, at least save one of them for late in the game, you know, if you're leading.
And, you know, you're trying to close out a game on the mound.
It's always helpful to have at least one or two handy.
So I think it's just a feel for the game, what matters.
You know, who knows?
You know, if you're trailing by a run and it goes, you know, you got a couple of strikes on you, you know, if you can draw a walk out of something, that could be a big part of a game.
You know, it's hard to pinpoint.
But there's also times, you know, you'll see teams, not just ours, it's done selfishly sometimes.
You go, what are we thinking here, you know, or what are they thinking over there, you know?
But like a lot of things in this game, easier said than done.
Well, you know what?
I think both of them would be very, very good at it because they had such great eyes.
You know, they knew the strike zone.
