How about some new uniforms and clean balls.
I don't know how many balls he's hit down the first-base line, ... I don't know when the last time was.
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.
If I had to guess, I would say yes. And that has nothing to do with anything that he's told me. I have not even asked him. I haven't even said, 'Rocket, are you playing? Thinking about playing?' I haven't even brought the question up.
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.
I don't think he's done pitching. That has nothing to do with any conversation I had with him. He loves to compete, and he pitched well.
I don't see why you would shoot for second place. We're still in a race for the A.L. East, so that's what our approach is. We're trying to win the division. You don't ever go into anything saying you want to finish second.
I don't see way you shoot for second place. We're still in a race for the AL East. We're trying to win the division. You never go in thinking you want to finish second.
