guys league love
How many guys in the league would love to do that?
might
He's human, though. Sometimes you might not think so, but he is.
grateful job
I'm grateful for it. Now it's my job to make it work.
few game gave guy last runs
In the past, if he gave up a few runs early, sometimes the game would get away from him. But he's been a new guy now for the last few months. He's just getting better and better. He showed that tonight.
complain
I really can't complain about not having this or that, now.
four knew slug tough
I knew it was going to be a tough day when they scored those four in the first. When you come in this place, you know you're going to slug it out with them.
breaking command focus hitting lose move pitches start
The first start of the year, there's a lot of focus on him. He wasn't hitting with his breaking ball. His command was off. That was all. He was in and out. He'd move the pitches and then he'd lose it. But he was OK.
against approach certain chance couple guys looking might numbers teams
The first day we got down here, I said, 'The numbers are against you, but you still need to approach it like you're going out there to try and make this team.' I just want him to have fun. I don't know what teams are looking (for a catcher). Certain teams, if we try to get him through (waivers), there's teams that may want to go with the young guys and might take a chance on him. It's unfortunate he had those couple years where he was injured.

You watch Ortiz the last couple years -- there's not a more clutch player out there. I don't care who you're talking about. Of course, the guy behind him ain't bad either.

You watch Ortiz over the past few years and there is not a more clutch guy in the game.

You watch Ortiz over the last few years, there's not a more clutch player out there. And you can't walk him because Ramirez hits behind him.

You win a couple hundred games because you make pitches at certain times that stop damage. That's just what he did.
