There are no hard feelings with my teammates over there. They're friends and family forever. That won't change.
It was a strange year. It happens to one team each year, where everything goes your way. It was a good team last year, but we had a lot of things go our way. We had so many one-run victories. In years before, we always lost those games, or we'd lose half those games.
Fifteen years now. I think of all the great teams we've had, and if we'd had this pitching, you never know how many rings we'd have won. But I'm just happy to be around and be a part of this.
The passion on this team is like I've never seen before in my 15 years here,
He was saying how loaded this team is and how tough it is finding at-bats for everyone. The guy who's swinging the hot bat will probably decide things a lot, but I told him that playing two out of every three games or something like that is fine with me. Whatever he needs to do to keep guys fresh.
I think the body responds to more reps better than heavier weight. As long as I got those reps in three or four sets, it didn't bother me and I could come down on the weight. Teams didn't want me to do it as much, but that's just the way it is.
We're finished talking. There's nothing else to talk about. As for love lost, basically there was not much love there the last five years. We'll just move forward.
We're finished talking. I mean, there's nothing else to talk about. Actual love lost I mean, basically there's not much love there over the last five years. So, you know, we're just moving forward.
We're not going to worry about results. We'll worry about the approach.
My mechanics felt strong, the ball was jumping off the bat. That was encouraging. ... I didn't feel any pain.
Like I've always said, it's all about timing. I'm ready now. I feel comfortable. It's close. It was good to see a little more movement on the ball.
It feels real good to do what I do. That's why I was happy in there. I'm very encouraged.
I want to thank these guys for pulling my big butt across this finish line.
I was a little rusty. Wash had a little quicker tempo than I'm used to having. But we're ahead of the curve right now. The goal is still April 1.
