This is not necessarily a home run lineup, but we have guys who are strong enough to hit home runs. The guys are feeding off each other right now...and we're playing good team baseball.
It was good for him to be down there today and talk to the guys, to have somebody there who actually played and went through all that stuff. He did some good things back in the day and it's fun to be around him. He's 94 years old and looks like he's in his 60s.
I haven't felt this good since my last full year in Kansas City, ... Being stronger should help me stay away from injuries, and when I can stay on the field, I know I can produce.
Two good pitching staffs going at it. Hopefully it is a low-scoring game,
That's the sign of a good team, ... If the opposing team gives you extra outs, you know you're good if you can go out there and build on it.
You can sit back when you are old and gray and remember some of the good old days.
I knew our starting pitchers and bullpen had the capability to go out there and shut teams down. I knew with our offense we were good. From the start of spring training everyone was hungry, everybody's pulling on the same rope.
I'm not really doing anything different. I'm usually a slow starter. We're playing well right now, and I just want to contribute.
I'm not going to tell him I fouled it off. Just go to first and, hopefully, we get a big hit and we did.
I hadn't thought of it that way. Our paths have just gone two different directions.
I had my chance and didn't do it,
It's a new year and he caught me when I was swinging good.
It just so happens that he hears stuff from what umpires say on certain calls like that,
It was kind of funny to me. When you come to an opposing team's ballpark and something happens that may have not gone their way, they'll let you know about it. He thought it was kind of funny. He said he's known now. I told him he could probably go to Hollywood now and become a movie star.
