It’s like Forrest Gump in slow motion and I’m going “Idiot, what are you doing this for?” I see the big screen and I’m like, “Oh God, that’s me.” And I’ve got a catcher’s mitt on and I’m like, “I don’t even know if it’s on the right hand…”
And I get to the botton of the mound and my brain goes, “Stop, stop.” And my feet just keep going up the mound. And everyone in the stadium goes, like this: “Ooooooh”. And I’m like, what do you mean ooooh? And no one can hear me.
And so I just went, stop, and my buddy Todd Tomczyk who’s a trainer for the Dodgers, he taught me how to pitch. I went, okay what would Todd do? It’s kinda like what would Jesus do, but what would Todd do, and I went okay, kicked the dirt, “Yeah I’m really here,” breathe, in and out, shoulders down, do the thing, twist, knee goes up and [throws].
Then my buddy caught it and I was like!
