Josh Donaldson

Hopefully tonight he's able to get back on track.

I know he's had some injury problems this year and

you know, start, you know, giving some quality starts for this.

No.

Yeah.

I was actually explaining that to somebody earlier, not too long ago.

It was like,

where i was at at the end it was like i felt like i could play at like 40 without really hurting myself and you know the major league level at that time you know it was um it required more than that and you know it's not fun it's not fun when you've been elite and you go out there and it's so that you can't do what you want to do it's just the amount and time and

For him, it would be the amount of pitches.

Or he's got a lot of mileage, too, on his arm and on his body.

So that's what I miss.

I don't miss not playing anymore.

That's not what I miss.

I miss playing at the top of my game.

And that's where...

you know, whatever, it was time for me to hang him up.

I was like, yeah, I'm done.

And I'm okay with that because I know that I can't get to that level anymore.

J.D., you see anything different with Vladdy?

You know, I think it's more along the lines of, you know, me and Kevin Pillar were kind of touching base on it a little bit today.
