The Rays are a team to be reckoned with. These guys are getting better and better each year.
eye facing gets guys strike throwing
He's one of those guys who makes you feel like you're out there facing a Maddux in his old days, when he was throwing a little harder. It's like if he gets down in the strike zone, he could throw a strike with his eye closed.
asking athletic ball bit center chance definitely games good guy head night normal ran slightly talented travels
Day games here are definitely different than night games. The ball travels a little bit more. He ran out real quick. You're asking a guy who is very, very talented - very athletic - but who doesn't play as much to get a good read on the ball over his head off the wall. Your normal center fielder has a slightly better chance because he's out there every day.

It's always important to see where you stand as a team. In a division like this, you need all the healthy bodies you can go with. But I'm not surprised with how we've kept it together. I just think guys know what's at stake; the opportunity to win the Wild Card doesn't come around too often, so ...

I'm not coming in to teach and play the big veteran guy. I'm coming in to win games.
trying may balls
I know that I may not always get a hit or may not always catch the ball, but I'm going to damn sure try.
boys trying stuff
I'd rather stay away from the limelight. Not because I'm trying to be a good boy and all that stuff. I just love quiet.
things-in-life sometimes good-things
You go through things sometimes that make you aware of the really good things in life.
always-trying mind chill
I'm always trying to get my mind at peace. I know I hit my best when everything is chill.
men blood laughing
I couldn't go over there, man. Once I saw the blood. I'm not good with blood. .. It choked me up for a minute. We were laughing and giggling one minute, the next minute, a man's down on the ground, both of them.
