Jameson Taillon: Pretty much the same. You know how it is—always something to work on, whether it’s mechanics or staying healthy. Speaking of which, how’s your arm holding up?
Marcus Stroman: Feeling strong! It’s all about that recovery process, you know. Got to keep the body in prime condition. How’s your comeback going?
Jameson Taillon: It’s been a journey. After the Tommy John surgeries, it’s taken a lot of resilience. But I’m feeling more confident every day. Consistency is key, right?
Marcus Stroman: Absolutely! It’s all about putting in that daily grind. I always see you putting in work during the off-season. What kind of things are you focusing on right now?
Jameson Taillon: Mainly refining my pitch mix. I’ve been working on that cutter, trying to add another dimension to my game. What about you? Heard you’ve been dabbling in new pitches too.
Marcus Stroman: Yeah, man! Been toying around with a splitter. Trying to keep the hitters on their toes. It’s about evolving and staying unpredictable.
Jameson Taillon: For sure, for sure. Speaking of evolving, how’s the mental aspect for you? We’ve both had our ups and downs. How do you stay mentally tough?
Marcus Stroman: Man, it’s all about positive vibes and self-belief. I do a lot of visualization and keep a strong support system around me. You know, staying connected with family and friends keeps me grounded. What about you?
Jameson Taillon: Same here. Visualization and mental toughness are huge. I also do a lot of yoga and meditation to keep my mind sharp. It’s not just physical; it’s a whole package.
Marcus Stroman: Exactly. Got to take care of the mind, body, and soul to stay at the top of our game. Speaking of which, got any off-field hobbies lately? I’ve been diving into some music production on the side.
Jameson Taillon: That’s awesome! I’ve been spending a lot of time on the golf course. It’s a great way to relax and challenge myself in a different way. Plus, the competition is fierce!
Marcus Stroman: Haha, I’ve seen some of your swings. You’re getting there! Maybe one day we’ll have to play a round together. Loser buys dinner?
Jameson Taillon: You’re on! But don’t be surprised if I give you a run for your money. It’s always a blast catching up with you, Marcus. Let’s keep pushing each other to new heights!
