    “If I think I’m terrible, I need to stop thinking”. Another solid quote a lot of ball players can relate to.

      That is one thing non ball players don’t realize, it is an extremely mind intensive game, your thoughts and beliefs have a big impact on how you perform.

      Willis I agree with you. I don’t think I’d want to be recognized and swarmed whenever I go out while still being able to play in the MLB and perform well. But at the same time, like they say, “you can’t have your cake and eat it too.”

      I’m a bit late but here in Australia, baseball is not a popular sport. Most people couldn’t name a single player. I play in Melbourne, our local u18 league has 5 teams. Australian football is on during the summer and nearly everyone will watch it. Schools have footy day and it’s rare for someone not to barrack for a team. People at my baseball club probably don’t know who Liam is.

    Hendricks is the guy that works best when his back is against the wall and it’s all to play for. I don’t envy the stress that a career as a relief pitcher in the MLB must bring in terms of job security alone.

  • @joshuapatrick682
    @joshuapatrick682 2 роки тому +1

    I think recognizing his future as a reliever instead of a starter is a path starting pitchers are hesitant to take, but it has been a path of success for many, and even resurgence. It might not be the journey you wanted, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t the right way.
