The fast ones I'm able to see. The slower ones I'm missing. He challenged me one time too many.
I have no doubt in my mind my playing ability, ... I can still play the game at a high level. I just have a short period of time and hopefully it doesn't hurt the team. That's the one thing that goes in the back of my mind. They've been there all year. Their timing is a little bit better than mine. I'm having to make fast adjustments for 20 baseball games.
The last at-bat, I was pretty burned out, ... I have a short period of time to help as much as I can. Hopefully, it doesn't hurt the team. They've been there all year. I'm having to make fast, fast, fast adjustments.
I never chased Hank to begin with. I just want to win championships. That's all I want to do. That's the only thing I'm playing for, the only thing that's keeping me going.
I'm very anxious to get on the field,
I just want to win a championship. I'm playing to win a championship. That's the only thing that keeps me going. ... The only thing keeping me in the game of baseball right now is trying to win a championship for the team, trying to win a championship with a bunch of guys.
I'm just waiting on the doctors, ... I'll see what they say.
It's standing around that's hard. It's just the waiting. When I'm running around, I'm loose.
(Eckstein's) one of my favorite players ever, ... I told him that he's a gift from God.
Everyone has their time and era, ... In all sports.
Everybody wants to get to the playoffs. You can just see it in the dugout that everybody wanted to win. If you get behind, sometimes you can just give up. No one gave up. Our pitching did a great job.
It was heartwarming, wonderful. It's our crowd. It's our town. These are our people. It made me feel great.
Nothing to say. I'd have to get a call to answer that question.
After that at-bat I was spent, ... I got a little tired by like the fifth inning. Your adrenaline is going so hard. I knew that was going to happen. I hung in there as long as I could.
