build legs spring training trying
I didn't feel like I had my legs under me, but that's what spring training is for, trying to build up stamina.
anybody guys hit home league national realize runs traded
I didn't realize when I got traded over here that these guys scored more runs than anybody in the National League and hit more home runs than anybody. So, they put up some runs.
appreciate chance obviously took worked
He took a chance on me. Obviously it's worked out for me personally. I appreciate the opportunity.
hands maybe seems situation spent time vocal
I haven't spent that much time with him, but he seems maybe a little more hands on, maybe a little more vocal than Wally, but he realizes the situation he's in is probably going to be temporary.
base forgot funny looked might nobody pitch swung third
I immediately looked at Dale Sveum and forgot that he was my third base coach. He might have tipped him off or he might have just been aggressive. I don't know, but I thought it was funny nobody swung at that pitch all year.
against games good knew last looks race season sure three tight time yankees
I'm sure everyone looks at the standings at one time or another. We knew the Yankees would be there from Day 1. We knew it would be a tight race and it will probably come down to the last three games of the season against these guys. They're two good teams.
ball percent run
If there's a ball in the gap, Manny Ramirez will run 110 percent after it.
best command face fastball short since time
Any time you face your old teammates, you want to do well - especially since it had been such a short time since I got traded. My fastball command was the best it's been all spring. If I can feel like that every time out, I'll be happy.
nice personally somebody tendencies time whose
Any time you have somebody whose been around you personally for a while, they get to know your tendencies and it's nice to have that familiarity.
felt fine pleased
I'm not pleased with the results, but I felt fine physically.
good home runs sleep
I'm not disappointed at all. It's the first outing, man. If I were to give up 100 runs I'd go home and get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow.
kindness swing
I'm pretty much over it now. I'm kind of getting into the swing of things.
ball chance earlier four gave hang hit home locked mistake pitching score starting stay tried
I gave up four runs, but it was on two home runs, two mistake pitches. Really, other than that, they didn?t hit the ball that hard. I just tried to stay focused. It?s been like that for us for a while. The starting pitching hasn?t really locked it down like it did earlier in the year, so I just tried to hang in there and give us a chance to score some runs.
guess missing taking
I guess I was missing the location. I was taking it as serious, as a real game. I just didn't get it done.
