The difference is AAA would have 4-5 good players in a Lineup and MLB it was 9 guys so going through the lineups multiple times was tough, Also the extra pressure you place on your self to stay up and also the stadiums with all the fans those are the main ones for me

What was it like pitching with Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander? How is Max on game day?

Collin Balester

3:52

It was awesome those are unreal pitchers and getting to watch them warm up and dominate on the mound was aweosme. Max was great on game days he was just chill and did his thing and once he got on the mound he was a bull dog, Verlander was locked in from the second he came into the clubhouse on game day and you had to stay out if his way, He had his same training table and trainer and shower and everything and you just wanted to stay out of his way so he could dominate on the mound

Did you ever talk to Rick Ankiel about the yips? PS the most amazing thing I ever saw at an MLB game was an Ankiel throw from CF - the catcher didn't move his glove even a millimeter

Collin Balester

We spoke a little bit about that bc i asked him if he would ever pitch again and he said never ever ever ever, He would throw flat grounds and he had a nasty curve
