“I like starting. It’s pretty cool.”

You put deadlines on people you really don’t want, because that’s how you feel about them.

The pitcher setting up the batter. It’s chess, and you play with it.

Pitches are like pages of a book; they’re so important.

The chess game; how I set you up early, and how I’ll do it differently later.

Announcers don’t do enough of the cat-and-mouse strategy and all the work that goes into it.

I did not want to leave the Mets and I did not want to leave New York.

You watch a broadcast and guys get the pitches wrong.
