I don't know if there's anyone in baseball looking for a 3-2 slider in that situation.
I don't know if we would have gotten him anyway.
I didn't think it was that bad. It wasn't worse than Rocket when he came back. What do you expect them to do? Think about it. You don't expect them to cheer for him.
He's tough. He's going to make you hit his pitch.
He throws a lot of strikes and he works quickly. So you can't get back on your heels behind him. That helps us out on defense.
He threw a ball that ran inside and I kept my hands inside, and I was able to hit it to right,
He's the owner of the team. He doesn't want anyone to get hurt. He's entitled to his opinion. He's The Boss.
He's always tough. It seems like his knuckleball gets tougher every time we face him.
Any way you can get it done. We have to find ways to win; it may not be pretty at times, but the bottom line is wins and losses.
Any way you can get it done now. Robbie put down a good bunt to get the runners over. It seems like every at-bat is important at this point in the year.
Apparently the guy sent stuff to a lot of people and made threats, which is serious, ... My letter, what I was sent, it wasn't a threat.
I remember coming up. I came up in May first and then I came back up in September. A lot of times, you're a little skeptical to say things and do things because you're around some different guys. So I always try to go out of my way to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You want everyone to feel a part of the team.
I know I said it last year, but winning the Gold Glove for the second consecutive season is extremely gratifying. Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games,
I have to give them credit. They seem to find ways to beat us.
