I was thinking Anderson seems like an interesting guy, that he's going to be fun. See the deal where he wouldn't call his start a debut? lol

“This doesn't technically count as a debut,” Anderson said. “I think some people might say that, but I don't know.”

He brought up other pitchers too

“I think it just comes with experience,” Anderson said. “Also when you like, see the other starters, they're just so calm. I think when you're calm out there, it just makes life a lot easier.”
