A Conversation Between Josh Hader and Brandon Woodruff
Josh Hader: Hey Woody! That fastball of yours was on fire last night. You were untouchable. What’s the secret sauce?
Brandon Woodruff: Hader! Thanks, man. I’ve been mixing my pitches a bit more to keep the hitters guessing. But seriously, that slider of yours… giving nightmares to hitters everywhere! How do you get so much break on it?
Josh Hader: Haha, lots of practice and a bit of voodoo, I guess! Actually, it’s all about the grip and consistent mechanics. Although, I can’t say the hitters love it as much as you do.
Brandon Woodruff: Oh definitely not, but it’s poetry in motion for the rest of us. By the way, how’s the off-season treating you? Any crazy workout routines?
Josh Hader: You know me. I like to keep things interesting. Been mixing in some yoga and a new diet. Had to get those fresh California vibes going!
Brandon Woodruff: Yoga, huh? Never would’ve pegged you as the flexible type. Next thing you’ll tell me, you’re surfing too.
Josh Hader: Tried it once. Let’s just say the ocean and I had a bit of a disagreement. But hey, it’s all about trying new things, right?
Brandon Woodruff: Absolutely. That’s what makes you such a tough competitor. Speaking of, how pumped are you for the new season? Got any goals set?
Josh Hader: Super pumped! Just looking forward to getting out there, helping the team, and maybe breaking a few more records along the way. You?
Brandon Woodruff: Same here. Always aiming to elevate my game. We have such a solid crew this year, feels like it could be special.
Josh Hader: For sure, Woody. Let’s make it a season to remember. Bring that fire every game!
Brandon Woodruff: You got it, man. Let’s get it!
