I have not yet begun to fight (as his ship was sinking, 23 September 1779)

It is cheering to see that the rats are still around - the ship is not sinking

Rats desert a sinking ship.

It is not our job to apply laws that have not yet been written.

The guy still knows how to pitch. He's not throwing 96 (mph) like used to, but he's sinking it, he's cutting it, he's changing speeds on us.

We are going to have to deal with it, we're not there yet. But we do have that restriction and will have to comply with it.
