Yeah.

That's a killer, man.

That's why I say that acting, making it in the entertainment industry is nothing like making it in athletics.

Athletics is completely based on

how good are you how talented are you yeah yeah that's all that matters you could be the most talented classically trained greatest actor on earth you know you've learned every method you've studied in russia and like all these things it doesn't matter if you're if the casting director doesn't like your look you're screwed yeah no it's not you can have a batting stance like craig council but if you can stripe it you can stripe it right yep

I appreciate that.

It's true.

I'm fully confident that next year or the year after are going to be better.

Last year...

I feel like there were some very good highs.

Again, just being out there and giving the team an opportunity to win games, it was like, thank God I'm back to doing something like this.

This is what I love to do.

And so that's really what I kind of take away from it, being back out there.

I felt like there was a lot of times where it was like, damn, I got to remember how this shit goes again.

You know what I mean?

And, you know, a lot of ups and downs for me personally and the team as a whole, but overall really, really positive.

But I look forward to next year, you know, just continuing to build off of that, you know, get back to,

Kind of get back to my ways of pitching, get the strikeout numbers back up and all the stuff that I know I'm good at that I kind of didn't have firing at the highest level last year just coming back.

I look forward to kind of piecing all that stuff back together now that...

I'm fully healthy.
