I'm going to try to not put a lot of pressure on myself.
game hit home last needs runs trying whatever within year
Last year I was trying to hit home runs too much. This year I'm going to play within the game. Whatever the game needs for us to win, that's what I'm going to do.
messing playing stir team trying
If we were playing a team that wasn't in it we'd still want to win. I don't want to say we like messing up their plans. I'm not trying to stir up nothing on the other side.
guys half honest jobs next second trying year
I just think the second half came. Guys were trying to put up numbers, to be honest with you. Guys trying to get jobs for next year and play well so they can try to solidify their place in the lineup for next year, pretty much. That's what had a big thing to do with the way we started playing.
catch front home numbers pitches pull runs selective somebody teach trying
I'm trying to be more selective and getting pitches to drive. I'm also trying to catch pitches out front more, ... Once I have somebody teach how to do that consistently, I won't have to pull my home runs all the time. And that's when my numbers will go up more.
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.
football guy motivates point
I understood. He got the point across, ... But that's OK. I'm a football guy. I'm used to a guy being up in my face. It motivates me. I don't take it personally.

Everything is still positive. Everybody's still having fun.

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.
beat kindness matter miss team
The thing about this team is that no matter who's in the lineup, this is the kind of team that's not going to miss a beat offensively.
ask funny
Baseball's funny like that. Don't ask me how something like that happens.
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.
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.
