four joe overlook
That was a start. But you can't overlook what Joe did for four innings.
four pitches throw
His curveball's ridiculous. Changeup, fastball, sinker. When you can throw four pitches for strikes, you're going to be all right.
asked buddy career second time trying
It was the second time in my career that I've ever done it, been the DH. I asked Buddy if he was trying to get fired. He laughed.
beat corey hat tip wish
Corey beat me to the punch. I was going to take out the ad. The only thing I wish I could have done was tip my hat to the fans.
baseball behind both coming elevates ends guy playing pushing radar somebody supposed wrapped
That's the way baseball is, ... I wouldn't say he's off the radar screen. I've been on both ends of it. I've been the guy coming up pushing somebody from behind and I've been the guy who's getting pushed. If that elevates both of our games, that's what it's supposed to do. Getting too wrapped up in who's playing right now is not the way to go about it.
bunt trying
I wasn't trying to bunt it, that's for sure.

I'm sick to my stomach about it, I told them that if they sent me down, I'm not coming back.

I faced Chris when he was in Toronto. I thought he was the best I'd ever seen then. He's better now.

My dad's probably the most influential person in my life. He said, 'You know, it'd be kind of cool to see your name in the Hall of Fame with that team.' We decided let's do it that way.

Me, my family, went through hell and back. It should have been handled differently. I'm glad it's over. I can put my (World Series) ring back on with pride now.
attack caught game names plan
You have a game plan, attack the game plan and keep going. Don't get caught up in the names on the back of the jersey, so to speak.
definitely
This team's been through a lot. We're definitely not going to stop. We're not going to fold.
digging game holes loss tough
We've been digging out of holes from day one. We had as tough a loss as you can have the first game of the season.

I told Willie the only way I'd play today is if I catch.
