Obviously, on the road it's going to be a little bit rougher for him. I think it's good for him to come back today and hear some of the cheers.

We're trying to do it for us and end on a good note. It's been such a sour middle of the year. And also for our manager, Sam. Everybody wants to win for him, and we want him back.

It's something that probably needed to be done. It's illegal, and it's good we put it in there. There's no reason not to have it in there.

clutch double game guy hit mess mind pitches second strikes thrown throws uses
First time, yes. Second time, no. He uses that too much, in the back of your mind you know he has that, it's one of those pitches you know you can double clutch and still hit it. If he hasn't thrown it all game and he has two strikes on a guy and he throws it up there, it's going to mess a guy up.

Everybody was worried after the stroke, but he seemed fine and was his normal self.
doubling guy hurting public ten
Doubling it is good. I think 10 is a little light. Ten you can get away with as a team. You can do without a guy for 10 days, but 20, you're kind of hurting your ballclub, too. Not just your own public scrutiny, but you're hurting your ballclub to win.
frustrated hoping taken team
We need him happy. He's the team leader. I'm hoping he was frustrated or it was taken out of context.
