We have three more games to play and we have to win those three games,
Just knowing him for a brief period of time I feel like he's going to go out there and give it 110 percent. We're not talking about a Gold Glove or anything like that, just go out there and do the best you possibly can.
Just knowing him for a brief period of time, I feel like he's going to go out there and give it 110% and he's going to put the effort in to get better on a daily basis. He's not going to go out there and just put time in.
I'm happy for him. He seems to be having fun again. Everyone likes him. What's not to like? A kid full of enthusiasm, a big smile on his face, a young guy going out there and playing like he's a kid in a sandbox.
I might be more reasonable with it. There will be a certain time when the things go off. At a certain time, you have to start preparing yourself for the ballgame and think about the people around you.

What you really want is to have your side heard. You just hope they will understand your side and maybe you can get a reduction in your suspension.
He's a good hitter, he's a good athlete. We've got to start treating him like a hitter.
You almost could have pulled the plug on the life support. It probably would have been pretty close to the season, really.
We don't seem to be able to handle pitchers we don't know. First-time guys, we seem to struggle with them. We're just not swinging the bats very well right now.
