He’s got the world’s softest knuckles. They’re like rubber the way they bounce off my steel balls.

Some guys get by with a lot of hard-hit balls that are outs, they get a ton of runs scored for them. You look further than just results. You see what they guy’s featuring and...

They said you were soft, you won’t block. Say you drop balls, and he took offense to that. I was glad to see that. The year before I had some of the same questions for...
