Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in all of sports
Baseball's the hardest thing to do in the world. I mean, I don't care, golf's hard... but if I tell you, 'Hey, let's go down to the park and let me throw an 80 mile an hour fastball at you, and throw the first one at your head,' that's part of the game. And you'll never want to step back in. So that's the hardest.

View episodeKyle Schwarber is the greatest home run hitter in the game
Kyle Schwarber is the man. What a monster. Three swings, three dongs, three no-doubters. He hit three home runs in three swings, absolute monsters. He's the best. I fucking love him forever.
Aaron Judge showed bad leadership by leaving the All-Star Game early
Bad leadership by Aaron Judge at the All Star Game. [Ohtani and Judge] were probably on a plane... it did feel like the National League manager was trying to win harder than the American League manager.
Every baseball game should be decided by a swing-off

View profileWinning a World Series in Philadelphia is more special than in Boston
What separates the two for me was... there's not many championships in the city of Philadelphia. In the city of Boston, it's pretty different. That's what makes Philadelphia to me a little bit more special. You have a love and a passion for their sports, but I feel like [Philly fans] act differently about it because they don't have many.
Stephen Strasburg at his peak was the filthiest pitcher I ever faced
Steven Strasburg, when he first came to the big leagues... he made his debut against us. He threw a hundred and you just threw me two off speed pitches in a three-two count... I was like, bro, like this dude is not real. His first five years... it was a joke. It wasn't fun.
