It's a little sore, but I'm all right.
It's a little frustrating hearing the fans booing Jason. He's going through a tough spot right now. He's got 80-some saves the last two years, and I don't think he deserves that.
It's been a tough year for me. Basically, I was just trying to put the ball in play.
You don't think about it day in and day out,
This goes back to when I was about six. I don't think I've ever felt good. It goes back awhile. The shoulder ends up hitting the wall, the diving (for balls) and lead arm swing, so it takes a lot of pounding and a lot of stress. It obviously gets sore from time to time.
Sometimes you have to throw your hands up.
Right now they are overloaded in terms of manpower.
Stuff-wise, that's as good as it gets in this league, ... The combination of him and Brad Ausmus behind the plate is just a tough combination. Brad knows what he's doing, moving the ball back and forth, fastballs away and cutters. It's one thing to move the ball around, but it's another thing to execute the pitches.
Stuff-wise, he's as good as it gets in this league.
One day is good, and one day is bad,
Now it's even. We've just got to go over there and try to win a series.
I couldn't walk yesterday. I got out of bed and I had to limp to get out of bed. I don't know if I stepped on a rock or something and aggravated it more and more.
I could hear Larry out there, and he was saying, 'Oh, God!' and he didn't want to call it. You really couldn't blame him.
I don't like my kids to say it, but I've used it myself, unfortunately.
