Gunnar Henderson in Baltimore, stud.

There's an argument you could make that the AL East could have four or three top five, ten players in baseball if they can reach their ceiling.

And I think that's the great part.

And we're not even talking about the pitching side.

I appreciate the compliments.

And about stupid things, I have done some stupid things.

I'm going to continue to do some stupid things.

But, yeah, I mean, this is why I love the game.

It taught me so much about, you know, from discipline to practicing your craft to not being afraid to fail.

And this is the part now.

I failed so much in that game, broke so many damn bats.

You know, Keegan Aiken on the Orioles.

I was joking with him about, dude, you broke three of my bats on a backfield in spring training that were brand new bats.

And I was pissed.

But you know what?

I loved it because then I said, I got to figure this out.

You know?

So then maybe...

I lined out or I got out, but it was a step in the right direction.

In baseball, you're going to get knocked down.
