And all I did was, you know, I threw him a fastball on three, one right down the, right down the middle.
And he flips his bat.
Like he walks.
Yeah.
And like,
you know, just being the fucking tough guy or whatever, you know, the next pitch, he pops it up.
And all I said was, ah, I looked at him when I said it and it, I guess it pissed him off.
Well, anyway, you dealt.
I mean, my overall point was you go back to that game and you, like, that was, if there was one game that says this is what you need from an ace to get you through a postseason, to me, I always remember that one.

I appreciate that.
