Quotable

“From a fan perspective, I would love to hear the great sounds of — remember Nolan Ryan — Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, the popping of the mitt. We are going to have an opening day with both guys going to be rushing it up there about 100 miles an hour, and you only hear that sound in Arizona or in Florida in February, March…There’s so much trash-talking that goes in those dugouts. If you actually lower the volume… I think this could be a really big opportunity to hear the players. Again, the more we can reveal of the players and what kind of people they are and you hear the voice, you may get intrigued to learn more about them.”
