I realize there's a lot going on but I think people should know the best sports interview ever given was just given last night by a Marlins relief pitcher who slapped himself in the face pretty hard 3 times as soon as he emerged from the bullpen, got the save, and then dropped this epic minute on us

"Throw the ball over the plate." That's a long way from: "It feels out there. Like, radical in a tubular sort of way, but mainly, it just feels out there."

We pitchers are psychopaths. The good ones, anyway.

I mean, I wouldn’t jump straight to steroids without any proof. I think it’s more likely he’s just a closer. Feel like they’re a different breed. Papelbon is a good comparison.

Man I’d rather have Mariano Rivera. Calm, professional and zeroed in. This isn’t world wrestling.

I mean, arguably one of the (if not the) best closers ever. Completely agreed, but not an entirely fair comparison. I didn’t mean every closer was insane. But I think a fair amount of similar to goalies in most sports. Feels like often a screw loose.

I guess I just yearn for old school baseball. I hate a lot of the new rules. I hate the ridiculous salaries, I hate how teams are just a mishmash of “talent” till the next trading deadline. I could go on, thanks for listening. lol

Props to the interviewer as well! As a sportscaster myself it can be tough when you get so little response to your questions and your subject seems genuinely pissed off to be there 😂. He kept rolling and didn’t get thrown. Nice!

It’s negative. He’s somehow actively passively hostile. Like Marshawn Lynch, but with more Jason Voorhees energy. Never seen anything like it.
