play people watches
If they watch me play, people will say I'm not into it or whatever. That's okay. I kind of like it. People don't know how much work I'm putting into it. They don't need to know.

At least one guy gets to go home and say he got a hit off Roger Clemens.
africa easy lightly played south team
It's easy to take a team like South Africa lightly because we didn't know anything about them. But we didn't and we played well today.
cubs hurting stupid tomorrow
We'll see tomorrow (Wednesday). The Cubs don't want me to play, but if I feel like I can play, I'm going to play. I'm not going to be stupid about it, but if I feel like I'm not hurting anything, I'm going to play.
future heard talk win works
I heard that they would talk in the spring, but that's about it. I think my future is here. I like it here. I want to win here. I see myself being here, but a lot of it is out of my control. If it works out, great, but it's out of my control.

best run saves
He's having an unbelievable season. But for me, the best thing about him is his defense. He saves a run or more a game.
arm flashes fun good great movement pitcher second showing throws works
He showed flashes of it early. Second year, like everybody, is an adjustment-type of year. This year, he is showing what kind of pitcher he is. He is just dominant. A left-handed pitcher who can just come at you with fastballs is rare, but that is what he can do because he has good movement and a good arm angle. He throws strikes. He's a good pitcher. He's great for the game. He's a good person, having fun out there. He works hard.
change good hitting
Hitting is always an adjustment, so I don't really change my approach. Just try to hit good pitches.
feeling looked needs pitch sign till understand
He's going to pitch till he's 50. I don't understand it. He needs to sign with someone quick. The way he looked today, I've got a feeling he's going to sign with somebody.
caught leave man
He hasn't been caught so leave it alone. I don't think it's a story. I say leave the man alone.
