For me, the game starts with starting pitching.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Usually during the regular season, if you're starting pitcher, you're kind of walking back and forth from the clubhouse to the dugout and not really paying attention to what's going on.
It starts with me. I have to get the team in the right play and throw the ball where it's supposed to go.
I'm sitting here with the Mets, and I get to throw out the first pitch. That's one of the coolest things in the world for anybody.
Pitching is a priority.
Pitching keeps you in the games. Home runs win the game.
Pitching is always a weird, difficult thing.
I love the game of baseball.
For me, baseball is about, again, the team winning.
I can't recall too much about pitching, but I do remember that I was anxious to get it over with. I just wanted to get that first game over with and go from there.
For me, it's just going up on the mound and trying to get outs.
