definitely experience feeling glad guys obviously odd rest share spent uniform
It's obviously an odd feeling being here and not being in uniform with the rest of the team. I spent a lot of years here. It's definitely an odd situation, but I'm definitely glad to be here to see the guys and share this experience with them.
builds came confidence definitely group guys next ourselves situations time
I think it builds confidence to know you can came back in situations like this. Next time we find ourselves in that situation, we know we can do it. We definitely have a group of guys who like being around each other. And I think something like this makes us even closer.
call definitely everybody knows leader longest looks outside paul played quite team together whatever
He's definitely a leader on this team. He's been here, probably outside of Frank, the longest on this team. He knows this organization and most of us have played together for quite some time. Everybody looks up to Paul as a leader and team captain, whatever you want to call him.
bottom catch compliment definitely fact figure good line numbers recognize stuff
I don't know how they figure that stuff out, but it's definitely a compliment for someone to recognize the fact that I play good defense. I don't know what those numbers mean, but the bottom line is to go out and catch the ball.
believes division everybody finish forward fourth hard last looking next picked win year
We were picked to finish fourth last year. Everybody in here believes we can compete. You can't win the division by looking forward to the end of the year or the next game. You just have to play hard and concentrate on each game.
matter
I've bounced around so much that it doesn't matter where I hit. I'm comfortable anywhere.
both hit plays scouting
I've never had back-to-back plays like that. We had scouting reports, and both times they hit it the other way.
bit
Probably not, but we'll take any bit we can.
everybody red
Everybody wanted to see it. I told the guys, I want a red one.
city mall people surprise turned
The Sox never did anything like this, going from city to city, mall to mall. It's been a surprise with all the people who have turned out.
attitude believe early helps learn mental mistakes side trying winning work
Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you make your own luck. You can learn from losing, as in what mistakes you made. I believe winning is an attitude. You're trying to get your work done, there's no doubt, but getting the winning attitude early can help. Winning helps the mental side of the game.
leg lifted plate time using
(Cook) was using that (slide step) to the plate before that, so this time he lifted his leg and I thought that he was going to the plate.
game hits might per score string together
You have to string together hits. You can end up with 16 hits in a game, but if you get two per inning you might not score a run. It?s about stringing them together.
might score string together
You have to string together hits. You can end up with 16 hits, and get two an inning, and you might not score a run. It's about stringing them together. It's one of those where sometimes it clicks, and sometimes it doesn't.
