I remember my first bullpen session with him. He was throwing the ball all over, and afterward he asks me, 'So, what did you think of that' And I told him, 'To be honest with you, I didn't think it was very good.' So he says, 'Hmmm,' and the next day he hits every target he threw at. Every one. The son of a gun was testing me.

I've had him tell me, 'In the third inning, I'm going to get that guy to pop out to third base,' and then he does it. I've seen us score five or six runs in the fifth inning to put the game away, and he'll come up to me and say, 'How far do you want me to go Do you want nine Or does the bullpen need the work, and I'll go seven' His game plan is going to be different if he's going nine or seven. I've never seen a pitcher think the way he does.
