It's going to be easy to work hard with him because he keeps it fun but he also knows your game so much. Honestly, it's a pleasure getting out there with him because I learn so much when I'm spending time with him.
It's so much easier having Butter (Butterfield) as an infield coach. Just watching Orlando play, you can't help but learn a lot. I adjusted well to third this year, and working hard really helps everything along. If I do that (with second base), it will feel like home.
It's a big opportunity we have together. He was drafted first, and I was drafted the year after. We talk about last year, and we're learning as we go. Every day, we're out here picking each other's brain and learning about certain types of feeds that I like and ones he likes. At the same time, we're good friends.
I don't mind (struggling at the plate now) because that is when you learn. You don't learn anything when you're hitting hot. Then it's just happening. It's when they make adjustments to you, that's when you have to make adjustments to them. Obviously it's not fun but I've learned more since I started to struggle.
If you're not adjusting one way you're adjusting another, ... but it's good to learn that now because obviously I want to be here for a lot more years.
With the win we clinched the first seed for the playoffs. This was a great win over our rival. In addition to Brad's points he also had 23 rebounds, several blocks and a couple of steals.
Throughout my career, I've always been the kind of guy who likes to stand towards the middle of the plate. And balls come in there.
I think we had more Blue Jays fans than Yankees fans. I think we can compete with everybody.
We got good balanced scoring tonight. We did a nice job of getting the ball inside to our post players. I was pleased with the team's effort.
We have a lot to work on. But we're getting experience.
Troy Lemay, who is the heart and soul of our team, did an outstanding job of holding Rosso - who averages in the high 20s to only eight points.
It's fun to make it interesting for the Red Sox-Yankees pennant race. We're a big team this week.
It's pretty comfortable, actually. I'll give it a try.
It was a great game for our low-post players. They were just dynamite.
