I like the fact the teams are mixed (with players from different organizations). A lot of guys in this league have played in Triple-A, some briefly in the majors. You get excited every day.
I thought he was strong. He came out throwing a good fastball to both sides of the plate. His curves and changes, he kept them down. He threw a couple splits to get a feeling for it. He looks solid.

You get a little pumped up. I get excited because those are the plays that are tough.
I had a lot to learn. It was all about staying tough mentally, staying up every day and keeping my body healthy.
