battle behind coming fall far giving next rut turns win
We know it's still early, but you don't want to fall as far behind and get in that rut where you have to battle back. You don't want to find yourself coming to the ballpark, giving away a win and then the next day, you get beat. Before you know it, it turns into something bad.
course homer johnny runs score scratch sit wait win
Over the course of the season, you're not going to score 10 runs every night. You need to win the 2-1 games, too, and we're not going to have to sit back and wait for a big homer to win a game. We can scratch and claw with Johnny and Derek up top, which is important.
drag father mean moved pathetic sad sell
I think it's pretty pathetic they want to drag my father into this. I've moved on. I mean that's just sad that someone would try and do that to sell a book.
drag father pathetic tried
I think it's pretty pathetic that they tried to drag my father into it.
head hit knew last since spring strung training work year
I was all over the place then. I had been hit (by a pitch) in the head and had been doing so much work since spring training to try and make up for last year that I was just strung out. But I knew it would change.
cheating
It ain't cheating if you don't get caught.
bit came coming deer easier headlights media
I think it's going to be a little bit easier for Johnny. He's coming over from Boston. I think he has already been through it. He's not going to have the deer in the headlights (look), where I came over from Oakland and the media outweighs the players.
came common lays opportunity superstars
I think it's cool. It lays out that we have a lot of personalities, but one common goal. We have 25 superstars who came here to get that opportunity to win.
doubt far takes
He's always been our guy. We're going to go as far as he takes us, no doubt about it.
cult gain hero loss miss
He?s going to go out there and with his personality, he?s going to have fun. Definitely, they?re going to miss him. He was a cult hero over there. That was a big loss for them and a big gain for us.
care field good playing speed talked train trying whatever workouts
When they first got down there they were trying to speed him along. I talked to him and he said they had some good workouts . . . I don't care how much you train or whatever you do, you can't simulate being on the field and playing baseball.
fit games good great knows loves needs
He loves the city. He's got that mentality. He knows what he needs to do. He has a good time. But he's pitched some great games at the right time. I think he would fit in well.
breaking good roll trying
I was trying to get him to roll over, ... I got a lot of outs on my breaking ball. It was a good pitch.
early gave lead
He was outstanding. We gave him that early lead and he didn't disappoint.
