Everybody in this game needs help, even I need help. When you are young and talented like Mo, you like to have people around you who you can learn from. That's why we are here. At one time, we were his age. The same thing happened to us.

best confidence face faced good hitter matter pitcher seems time
Lilly, he seems like every time we face him, it must be his best night. When you as a hitter feel confidence about a pitcher you faced before and hit really good against, and it doesn't matter if it's his best night, ... you're going to hit him.

Johnny is like a brother to me and I want to see the positive side. I know there were some boos, but I saw a lot of people clapping, too. You just couldn't hear it over the boos. He did a lot of great things here. He was a big part of us winning in 2004, and he is a great guy. I've seen worse. I wish him the best.
ball close hit rows seat ted williams
That ball wasn't even close to Ted Williams' seat back there. That kind of got me frustrated. You know, you hit the ball like that and you've still got to go 25 more rows up to get close to Mr. Ted Williams I don't know.
That's the way it was over there. They make you be a little (expletive) hitter. If you don't be a little (expletive) hitter, you don't play.
game great last likes looked obvious pitching saw spring training
I saw him pitching the last game he pitched in spring training and it was obvious he was right back where he likes to be. I saw him making his pitches, doing his thing. He looked great to me.
When you're out there playing, you don't think the game's going to be on your back.
