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.
playing red somewhere soon turn tv
Probably as soon as I turn on the TV and see the Red Sox playing and I'll be playing somewhere else.
deal love playing signed stay
I wouldn't have signed this deal in any other place. I love playing here and I want to stay here for my whole career.
against door four funny guys last league neighbor next pitching played playing three
It's funny pitching against guys you played with the last three or four years. It's like playing against your next door neighbor in Little League or something. It makes you want to laugh.
aggressive good knew park playing today warming
I went out there today and was warming up in the 'pen, and I knew I had good stuff. When you've got good stuff, especially playing in a park like this, that's so big, you can be really aggressive and kind of go after these guys.
guys knows playing pressure wonderful
He knows when to put pressure on guys and when not to. It's wonderful playing under him. He never kills us in the paper.
close crowd enjoy front game playing regular season spring today
Today was as close as I'm going to get to a regular season game in spring training. It was in front of a crowd that I enjoy playing in front of.
best business chess close definitely gm matter personally pieces player players playing
We're definitely close, probably as close as you get to a GM as a player but it's a business. It doesn't matter how you feel personally about somebody. You've got to make the best move. It's like playing a chess match. You're just pieces on a freaking board, that's what players are in this business. It doesn't matter how much they like you.
across against close crowd few field front game guys hard last league neighbor pitching playing straight team
(Yesterday) was as close as I'm going to get to a regular-season game -- pitching against my old team and pitching in front of a crowd you like pitching in front of. It's just funny, man. You look across the field and see all the guys you've been playing with the last few years. It's like playing against your neighbor in Little League or something. It's hard to keep a straight face.
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.
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.
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.
kindness swing
I'm pretty much over it now. I'm kind of getting into the swing of things.
