almost best brings definitely playing
Those two (teams) will always be the measuring stick. I like playing on the road, period, and being around the big-time atmosphere. It definitely brings out the best in you. Something about it is almost electric.
definitely easier guys intense last relaxed seem
We're not exaggerating at all, it's definitely a different feeling. It's a little more comfortable. Things were more intense last year. Guys seem more comfortable about what they're doing on a day-to-day basis. It's a more relaxed atmosphere. It makes things easier to operate.
carry definitely everybody field games hard help lead means middle playing ready room somebody standing team telling whose win
I just want to come in and be myself, you know. And that means go out and play hard every day. Try to help the team win games. When you say a leader, you usually think about somebody whose standing in the middle of the room telling everybody stuff. I don't know if I'll be that person, but I'll definitely try to lead by the way I'm playing on the field or by the way I carry myself on and off the field, the way I get ready to play the games every day.
bone bruise definitely fine found four game gotten months patient season six start takes wait wind
Once I found out it was a bone bruise and it takes four to six months to heal, then I was fine with that. It's only been four months, and it's definitely gotten better. ... I just have to be patient and wait for it to heal. I mean, if the season was going to start today, I'd wind up playing. It's not one of those things where I'm going to be out. If we had to play a game today, I'd be ready.
testing
We would do start-up testing in 2014 or 2015.
fresh good hard job last remember vibes
You feel so many good vibes around here now. It's so fresh that it's hard to believe, but they are doing a good job getting the vibe out of last year. By the end of the year, we won't remember those old days.
fun
Everything is still positive. Everybody's still having fun.
groove positive season seems start time
Everything seems so positive around here. You want to see where this new positive way will take us. It's time to get back in the groove so we can start this season off with a bang.
ask funny
Baseball's funny like that. Don't ask me how something like that happens.
calling count funny guys nfl order pitch ready spot study technology watch
We watch so much film, calling up pitch by pitch, count by count in order to spot tendencies. Technology is a big part of how I get ready for a game. What's funny is a lot of the NFL guys say they study the 'Madden' game; that's how they learn to read offenses and defenses.
beyond life talk talks
We talk way beyond baseball. When it comes to life experiences, I go to him for that. When it comes to baseball, he talks to me. We kind of swap information.
hopefully worry
We just want to go out and play baseball. We don't want to have to worry about this kind of thing. Hopefully that's the end of it on the field.
happy last missed
We missed him last year. I know he wasn't happy about not being able to play.
act cry era selfish worried
(Washburn) shouldn't cry about it; he should take it for what it is. Do it the right way, ... He got the win, and that's the only thing he should be worried about. That's a selfish act to be worried about his ERA after he's already got the win.
