I am often in awe at the contribution of non-native English speakers here, and extra contributions like new idioms are a delight.As you know I have spoken myself warm about Buitrago and my thoughts on him going into this season. Good start.
I shall try to adopt the concept of "speaking oneself warm" into my conversations and hope its use becomes widespread. (I'm assuming the sense is of persuading oneself that a mere hope can be an expectation)
