I just didn't expect it to be that short. Lopez was a career backtop for five different clubs over the course of nineteen seasons. He took that knowledge of the game and managed ballclubs built upon pitching and finished second ten times. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it.
Life is too short.
It's tough to be pitching and having to worry about what a catcher's going to call. If the catcher has a reputation of being a rockhead, the pitcher's gonna have to worry that much more. Except the one time I went out to take Early Wynn out. He can't mingle with his players. Those four walls kind of close in on you.
