We worked so hard in the offseason, Spring Training, now during the season“It was more about getting stronger mentally. I’m still building myself and my ability. God gave me the blessing to play this beautiful sport. Now, I have to work hard every day and enjoy every pitch.”

We have the talent. We have the group,”

“It’s just on us to keep doing what we’re doing. Like we say in our meetings: Win the series, win the World Series. That’s the goal.”

Following Toronto’s pitching shutting Colorado following Toronto offensively scoring 5 runs Toronto manager John Schneider had this to say about Jose Berrios!

“It’s hard to find that durability in this day and age. His delivery is so consistent. When you're not fighting anything mechanically, you just go out and pitch. A lot of it is just him, his personality, his work ethic, the professional he is. It’s hard to do.”

It’s always an incremental game with Berríos, given how consistent he’s been.
