It's the youth movement we have. A lot of young guys with a lot of passion. It brings the fun back to the game.

You feel like a stud out there when people swing and miss. As I've gotten older, I've preached to our young guys that strikeouts are sexy, but outs are outs, man, no matter how you get them.
