I see the same exact type of team. Great closer. Great starting pitching every night. Great core of hitters. Can score runs every night.
I'll finally get some real work in. It will be great to see live pitching for a change.
I saw a couple of pitches and slowed everything down and hit the ball hard. I was embarrassed my first time up, but the nice thing about baseball is you can turn it around the next time.
He knows how to pitch to the fat part of the ballpark.
I'm not as far away as people think I am.
Once I go on the field, things will be in place.
I'm not prone (to injuries) at all. I had an unfortunate injury and I was surgically repaired. I chose to come back maybe a month too soon. Now it's feeling a lot better. The point I'm at now is a little better than it was when I returned last year.
I'm not going to kill anyone with my speed, anyway. But if I can go first to third and score from second, that's the main thing.
I'm real close to ready now. I can get in there with the big boys now.
I'm just happy to be sitting right here in Chicago and right here at U.S. Cellular Field, holding my Hall of Fame press conference. I'm proud of that.
I've got nothing to say about the White Sox. Frank has left the building.
Swish is a real good kid and he likes to have fun. He has a pleasant attitude and he's just a refreshing piece of energy. I tell him, 'Don't think, just react, and let your talent take over.
It's always special to see that. It doesn't happen very often. I've been in the middle before but not on successive pitches.
It was good to go back and forth, seeing a lot of pitches. After the second at-bat everything felt normal.
