I watched that start probably, I mean, 20 times after. I'm like, I couldn't get hit that day. You know, I'm like, this is unbelievable. It's a feeling that it's – I mean, I just got done golfing. It's like a pure, like, eight iron, you know, and it's like that's the best feeling in sports.

Yeah, that's the fastest. In game was like – I think it was 101.6 this year I think was to – It was Therese Hoskins, too, and he fouled it off. I'm like, dude, my hardest heaters are always fouled off. I'm like, why are you missing them? I'm throwing this as hard as I can for you to miss it, not to foul it off. But yeah, that was the hardest heater I've had.

I give it hell when it's 102, it's everything I got. There's nothing else in there. It's not like, oh, I'm saving 104 for next season. It's pretty much I'm throwing it as hard as I can. When my velocity spikes in games, it's because I'm actually just throwing the ball as hard as I can and not really worrying about where it's going as much.

Yeah. Whenever the pitch comes through, I just think, throw the shit out of this to this spot, and that's it. And then I throw it. That's really with every pitch. I think it's a pretty simple approach when I'm on the mound. It's like, fastball up and in, and I'm like, alright, throw the shit out of the fastball to this spot. Whether it goes there or not, it probably doesn't really ever go there.

I think that's one of the biggest... People are like, oh, I'm a command guy. I hit spots. It's like, no, you really never do. It's like 20% of the time you're hitting it. So, I mean, I'm focused on the spot. But if it goes there, awesome. If it doesn't go there, at least I gave it everything I had.

You're like, holy shit, you know, I made it to this. So to get that, that was pretty cool. But, yeah, I think that, I mean, the Haas thing is pretty, I mean, I think it's a hilarious one.
