definitely guys healthy hit knew quick somebody trouble unless
I knew when it was hit they were definitely going to be in trouble unless somebody called the ball. Those guys are so important to our team, we need them to get healthy as quick as possible.

I'm going to spend a lot of time with these guys and I want to get off to a good start, say 'Hi' and kind of get things rolling. This is going to be my family for this season, the next four seasons.
enjoy follow guy guys knows lead mix team type whatever
I'm going to follow the lead of a lot of these guys who have been here before, but everyone knows the type of guy I am. . . . I've always been able to mix with whatever team I've been on and I've been able to enjoy every team I've been on.
guys mix team
I mix in well with any team I am on. The guys here have made me feel very comfortable already.
across enjoyed forever group guys love room sure teams
It was a group of guys who enjoyed each other, a group of guys who would love to play forever with each other. You don't have those teams too often, ... I look across the room and I'm not sure if I'm going to play with these same guys for another year. I could be on another team. They could be on other teams.
facing guys team tough
It's tough facing guys you've never faced, that your team has never faced.
bunch definitely games guys stepping tough
They weren't intimidated by our lead. It's going to be a tough year, a bunch of tough games with those guys. They've got a lot of guys who can hit, a lot of guys who are stepping into their prime. They definitely are very dangerous.

We had three pretty good hitters up, ... I felt after those guys made the two outs I was going to pick them up.

First of all, what do you guys think about this? Obviously, keep on snapping away.
excited great guys hopefully pride ready
I've been excited the whole time. It's something we have to take great pride in, and hopefully the guys will show up and be ready to play. I know I am.
almost continuing couple game guys hearing last looked passion played players respect rules wrong
This game is much more than we've been hearing about over the last couple of years. Players do have passion for this game. Players do respect the game. Players are clean. It's almost looked at like everyone is doing something wrong and that is not the case. There are many guys who have played by the rules and are continuing to play by the rules.
fooling game guys hurt playing whether
So many times, you see guys getting hurt whether they're just fooling around or not playing very hard. For me, I have to keep up with the routine, play like every game may be my last.
busted foolproof games guys half miss missing mistakes positive quality season somehow step sure
Missing 75 games or whatever, that's half a season your team, if you're a quality player, your team's going to miss you. I think it's a positive step for the union. Unfortunately, you can't make everyone happy. Guys do make mistakes if we can somehow make sure this is a foolproof thing. We want to make sure guys know what they're being busted for.
baseball gone great guys teams
I have a lot of friends there and we had some great moments. But a lot of the guys are gone and that's how baseball is. The teams make their choices.
