When you look at the Royals, they get to pitchers late. Harvey had pitched brilliantly, but statistically, that bad word that Collins doesn’t like.

Terry Collins said: “Shit Happens” at a press conference. You know who has good numbers? Good (expletive) players.”

I’m not going to sit there today and look at all of these (expletive) numbers and try to predict this guy is going to be a great player. “It’s become a young man’s game, especially with all of the technology stuff you’ve got to be involved in. “I’m not sure how much an old-school guy can add to the game today,’’ Collins told USA Today.
