Thank you, sir. Does anyone read these comments? Here's some bonus material from Huddy for anyone who does:
"When I transitioned to the bullpen, you know, watching guys that had done it forever, like JJ Putz and David Hernandez, Brad Ziegler... just having those guys to model how to be a professional definitely helped. And, you know, if you ask any one of those guys down there the last couple years, I wasn't going to be the most vocal guy, but I think they were able to learn a lot from me, just watching how I would go about every single day and preparing and making myself available to pitch every single night regardless of how I felt. That was something I took pride in."
As a Nats fan who can quite easily picture that Hudson-Brantley matchup, I was so happy to get to go inside Hudson's mind with you, Ryan!

I love how casually you mention you were recently talking to Daniel Hudson. I'm living vicariously through you!
I had questions and he was kind enough to answer them thoroughly.
Great read!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
