A profile on Bud Norris by Bernardo Fallas this morning sees him not as arrogant, just confident:
“You have to have confidence. Believing in yourself is important, because there is a lot of doubt in life in any occupation. If you have a positive outlook and confidence, you're going to have a better outcome, in my opinion.”
Blum, on Norris:
“He's highly excitable; he's got good stuff. If he can work on getting that changeup into his repertoire, he's going to be a great pitcher. This is not a game where you can ride your adrenaline for six, seven innings. This is more of a game of pace and maintaining your energy level throughout the game.”
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
