best couple definitely growing hometown job red
I was definitely surprised, ... just being that he had only been there for a couple of years, he's a hometown guy, growing up a Red Sox fan. Other than being a player, it's the best job in the world, and I thought he was going to be here for life.
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.
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.
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.
good home runs sleep
If I go out there and give up 100 runs I'll just go home and get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow.
calm crunch games guys intensity knows overall
There can be. I think there's an overall calm here, these guys have been in these games before. Everyone knows it's crunch time. We'll come out with intensity I'm sure.
change decisions discussion hurt involved obviously people relationship rested
I don't think a lot of decisions rested on just Theo's shoulders. I think a lot of people were involved in having a roundtable discussion and having different ideas, so I don't think it will change all that much. Obviously it's going to hurt some because of the relationship he had with the players.

accustomed body few good mound time tired
You feel good physically, but your body does things the first time you get on the mound that you're not accustomed to the first few months. So you get tired quickly.
bit breathing compare easier eight facing feels game gives goes hole league mentally national nine pitch pitcher power tough wearing yankees
Facing the Yankees 19 times a year, that lineup is so power packed -- even the eight hole and nine hole sometimes. It's tough to pitch to. It's mentally wearing on you as the game goes on. For me to be over here in the National League, just to have the pitcher in the nine hole, gives me a little bit of breathing room. I don't think there's any lineup in the National League that can compare with that one. For me, it feels like it's easier to get over the hump.
anywhere ben both deal felt guarantee lifetime near security stated strongly table time traded
But Jed and Ben both stated to me that there was no deal on the table for me right now, and they felt pretty strongly that I wouldn't be traded any time anywhere in the near future. They couldn't guarantee me security for the lifetime of the contract.
boomer monkey obviously threw
Boomer obviously threw a monkey wrench in everybody?s plans.
devil discount love playing reason royals stay team took traded worried
The reason I took a discount is because I love playing here and I want to stay here my whole career. They (agents) worried that I would be traded to a small-market team like the Royals or Devil Rays.
almost believe identical last lucky pitch throw
I got lucky again. I'll just keep hacking. I really just couldn't believe where the pitch was. It was almost identical to last time. I thought he was going to throw me away and it was still kind of middle-in a little bit.
