past people
Great. To see all these people here the past two days--it's just impressive.
difficult great improve people seem
It's great to get those guys. Some people seem to think that will automatically make everything that much better. But it's still going to be very difficult to improve on those numbers.
clubhouse couple expecting great guys last people reasonably saying
There are expectations this year. I'm not saying great expectations, but I think people are reasonably expecting us to be a lot more competitive than we've been the last couple of years. I know the guys in the clubhouse have a different feeling.
certain contract exciting flattering focus level maintain people talking time year
With the year I've had and the way things are going with the contract talks, it's a very exciting time for me. Not too many people get to go through something like this, ... You're talking about life-changing money. At the same time, you've got to maintain a certain level of focus and level-headedness. It's more flattering than anything.
bit countries gray latin line might people seriously
Some people will probably take it a little more seriously than others. A lot of the Latin American countries play a lot for pride, but you might see a little bit of a gray line for some people.
nature neat nice people players quick step sudden team tournament win
The neat thing about this tournament is the nature of it, and how quick it is. A nice win here, you step it up in one game, and all of a sudden people take note, not just of the team but the players on it.
city easy great history people stock understand
I can understand that. It's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business, obviously, and we're an easy target, I guess. You can't put too much stock into it, I think. People who are here and in the city know about the great history here. But the people here are frustrated, too, and we understand that.
definitely finally gets ready talking
We've been talking about it for a while. Now we're just ready to get out there and get going. You have that anticipation, it finally gets here and you definitely get excited.
forward giving looking nice
It would be a nice little accomplishment. I'm looking forward to the opportunity, but it's not one of those things you can force. It's not like they are just giving it to you.
guides slowly taken terrible
I started this neighborhood, and it's slowly been taken over. But that's OK. I'm just going to get one of those idiot's guides to Spanish. I'm terrible at it.
biggest hitting instead key kinda nice playing relax runs three
We had pitching, hitting and defense. It was nice to get all three working together. The biggest key was getting the three runs early. That let us kinda relax a little bit, instead of playing from behind.
actual days early few jump stuff week workouts
I wanted to get a little jump on things. It's not like I am here a week early or anything, but it's a few days to get the soreness and all of that stuff out before the actual workouts start.
forward games innings looking nine playing spring
You go from spring training, where you're (in the lineup) here and there and you can't really simulate playing nine innings continually, to having to play 17 games in a row. I think everyone is looking forward to this day off.
cylinders hope jobs
There's not much we can do about that. As hitters, you just do your jobs and hope we can get all cylinders going at some point.
