confident expect five lose starters top
You're confident (when he's on the mound. He's one of the top five starters in the game. You don't expect to lose that game.
real lying hands
He's a little deceiving. He doesn't have a real good arm slot as far as trying to pick the ball up out of his hand. He made some pretty good pitches when he had to.
guy trying bats
We had some pretty good at-bats off Carpenter. We just couldn't find any holes. That's the way it goes sometimes. We were able to get some guys on but weren't able to get them in early. We did some little things right, we got some guys on, we got some walks. We take it one batter at a time and everybody tries to stay within their own limitations. We did that, we just didn't get the big hit to get them in.
brother reality research
The research they do is incredible. I was overwhelmed. They have a great thing going on out there. In reality, this came from one brother's love for another brother. Seeing the center up in his brother's behalf, it's an unbelievable thought.
memories children school
We guided our children. We supported them. We were there for them. But once you start going through your list of schools that present a potential opportunity, a young man or a young woman has to be happy with their decision. If they are unhappy, then their whole four years of college are going to be some of the most miserable memories of their lifetime.
running nice home
Home runs just come from accidents by me, ... I just try to hit it solid and sometimes they go out. The record is nice to have but I'm not trying to hit them.
baseball days miss players taking typical
She didn't want me to miss two days considering the players that we have out and how banged up we are now. Typical baseball mom, she's taking it for the team.
bats last
Obviously, we had some pretty big bats last year. But this year's lineup isn't so bad, either.
asked base catch four might missed order second stay
No, not at all. I think if second base didn't go as well as it has, I might have missed it, but I always wanted to catch and once I got here, after four years they asked me to move. You do what you have to do in order to stay in the big leagues.
article bench guess guy happened hits maybe middle second sitting slider throws
Maybe he read the article where I said that's never happened to me before, ... I mean, I've had some that were questionable - but, come on. I'm sitting on the bench all day, the guy throws a slider at you and it hits you in the middle of the batter's box. That was only my second ejection. I guess I'm a big troublemaker.
andy comeback double early four good great huge played plays runs series three today
Obviously, today four runs was enough, ... Andy pitched great and we played good defense. We had three double plays early that were big. The way the series started, that was a huge comeback to get two wins.
earth normal president united
Obviously, he was the President of the United States, but he's just a normal person, a down to earth guy.
doubles heck hitting knows proud remember
Obviously, 600 doubles is a heck of a lot of doubles. I am real proud of it. I remember hitting 500 at home, and who knows if you are ever going to get to 600?
almost came chance drafted father great hall mac originally people point side since special watched work yogi
Mac originally drafted me in 1987, ... He and Yogi came to Seton Hall and watched me work out one day. Ever since then there's been a special bond. Over the years it got better and better to the point where he was almost like a father figure. He was such a great man. A lot of people didn't get a chance to see that side of him.
