ball breaking starts
For a right-handed hitter, he starts that breaking ball right at you, which a lot of times freezes you.
afraid expected situation unfamiliar win
It's not unfamiliar for me to come into a situation where you're not expected to win the World Series, ... I'm not afraid to work. I like working with young players. That part doesn't faze me all.
bothers charge easy love possibly quick stop
It's not easy right now. My stomach, I've got a knot. I don't like it at all. I am in charge so it is my responsibility. It bothers me. I'd love it to stop as quick as it possibly could.

It's always nice to win. It feels great to do it here.

They're still very much the favorite, but Cleveland is making it interesting.

They've done everything in their power to get that field ready. It can't be perfect. It's a groundskeeper's worst nightmare.

hitting
We're just not hitting right now. It isn't that we aren't trying.
bothers guys losing magic message sit
We're just not getting it done. I'm not getting the message across. This really bothers me. I know I'm responsible, but guys have got to do it. It's inexcusable to be going through this losing streak. Losing doesn't sit well with me. It shouldn't sit well with anybody. We have to keep working. I know no other way. There's no magic potion.
