thinking easy pitcher
It's easy to see why pitchers respect McGwire. If you hit behind him, they're saying that they don't respect you. You have to change their thinking.
thinking people feelings
You can't shelter it. You can't hide it. You have to let people know what you're going through, what you're feeling, what you think you have that's a problem.
loss thinking winning
I think we now come to the park expecting to win instead of playing not to lose.
men thinking might
There's only one Mark McGwire. The man walked over 160 times. Just think. If he walks 60 times, he might hit 100 homers.
player thinking people
I don't think any player lives up to his potential, because people out there put you so high on a pedestal, you'll never be as good as they expect.
thinking worry people
People spend time worrying about things they think they have to have and lose perception of what they do have. You can have all the money and material things you want. If you aren't here to enjoy them, what good do they do?
baseball cancer thinking
I was hitting .360 when I was diagnosed. I didn't forget how to play while I was recovering. I don't know if the cancer is gone for good. I don't think anyone ever knows, but no one is going to steal my joy for as along as I'm able to play baseball.
late missed
We missed some one-and-ones late in the game. Then they made some big baskets.
effort rally seemed short
It was very short on specifics, and lacked any new initiatives. It just seemed like an effort to rally the country.
gave swing third
There was a five-point swing at the end of the third that gave them momentum.
defense game kept knew played
Our defense has kept us in every game we've played this year. I knew we'd come out and play hard.
fought game hard league physical
Every game in this league is a hard fought battle. We wanted to play physical and take it to them. Selah wanted to play physical and take it to us. I say let's go at it.
best guards mike player post shut
Mike guards the best post on the other team. I know he can shut that player down.
defended heck lately mike played turn
Mike got his turn (on Thursday). He hadn't played much lately but he went out there and defended the heck out of people.
