I find some of the questions amusing, such as, "What was going on in your mind during such and such play?"
I'd be tempted to say things like, "I was thinking how good some french fries would taste."
There's that great scene in the movie about Dizzy Dean where the catcher calls time. Switch to fan in the stands. Girlfriend asks, "What are they meeting about?" Fan: "They're going over their next pitch; this guy can hit." Back to the mound. Catcher: "Say, Diz, you know that shotgun you said your Dad had for sale?" Diz: "Yep and he's still got it." Catcher: "I'd like to buy it after the game." Diz: "You've got it, pardner." Meeting breaks up. Back to the fan in the stands. His girlfriend is looking at him like he's a real expert and he's pleased.I find some of the questions amusing, such as, "What was going on in your mind during such and such play?"

I hope that a lot of the time our players are thinking about french fries. That means they know what to do during the play and they are as confident about doing it as Ole Diz always was.
