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.
everybody red
Everybody wanted to see it. I told the guys, I want a red one.
associated cares close everybody guys pulled special team teams truly year
That was the special thing about this team: We were a club. The 25 guys we had on this team were as close as any team I have ever been a part of or associated with. Everybody truly cares and pulled for each other all year long. It's something that's very rare; you don't find it very often. And those teams that do have that are special.
effort everybody felt game guys hanging intensity
I felt everybody was in the game tonight. The effort and intensity was in the dugout. Guys were hanging on every pitch.
colors easy entire everybody season stuck team together true winning
This whole team through the entire season has been nothing but a cohesive unit. It's easy to say that when you're winning like we were in the first half. But I think the true colors show when you're scuffling a little bit. Everybody stuck together same as we did when we were winning.
accomplish everybody takes today trying
We're trying to accomplish one goal. That's to get to the World Series. It takes everybody and today everybody contributed.
catch everybody goal job wants
Everybody wants to put a little more into it than what it is. Ultimately, my goal is to catch the ball. If something is in my way, so be it. My job out there is to catch balls.
everybody excited feels opening
It's sad, actually. Everybody should be excited about Opening Day, but it feels like we're under a cloud. It's a shame.
attention chips choke everybody knew nobody paid playing stuck talk team together
Through all of the choke talk and everything else that was said, this team really stuck together when the chips were down and we weren't playing as well together as we knew we could. Everybody stuck together and nobody paid attention to that and we were all a unit, and it paid off in the end.
ability chemistry everybody pull rope team worry
I think there's not enough made about the chemistry of a team and the ability of everybody to pull on the same end of the rope and worry about what matters, and that's wins.
dugout everybody
It all started the first inning when he got on base. Everybody in the dugout was like, 'All right, it's show time,'
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.
bad call everybody leader looks paul team whatever
He's very even-keeled. Just get out of his way if he has a bad game. Everybody looks up to Paul as a leader and team captain, whatever you want to call him.
matter
I've bounced around so much that it doesn't matter where I hit. I'm comfortable anywhere.
