battle behind catching guy hits played side trying waiting
I told him I was going to get him. I said, 'You think I was catching you just for your benefit? I was waiting for this day, too.' It's going to be weird, a guy you went to battle with and played behind so much, being on the other side trying to get hits off him.
causes evident game good guys intent offense start
This was only the first game, but this game it was evident that once you get guys on base, it causes havoc. It's not just me, it's anybody. That's my intent to start off the game, not necessarily with a triple, but to have a good at-bat and let the offense take it from there.
gets guy
I'm just getting hits, ... When a guy gets on base, I'm a little more aggressive.
believe couple fun great guys healthy help hopefully last main stay stayed team
Hopefully I help out a little bit, but I think the main thing the last couple years is they just didn't stay healthy. I believe if they stayed healthy, they already had a great team before me. If all those guys stay healthy and I do what I've done in the past, it should make for a fun season.
guy left plate second slow third throw throwing
The guy was pretty slow to the plate once I got to second. The second time, I don't think (Valentin) wanted to throw to third after throwing it into left the first time.
reason
I think that's the only reason we're at where we're at today.
bad loss ready realize tomorrow
We realize this was a bad loss tonight, and we've got to come out tomorrow ready to play,
ball move
We just didn't move the ball offensively, we just didn't get it done. We didn't get on base. We didn't really do anything today.
committed definitely looks rebuild sad
It's going to be a while, not in a lot of peoples' lifetimes. It's sad because when you think about Louisiana, you think about New Orleans. It's definitely hard. It looks like they are committed to try to rebuild it, but the way it looks on TV, it's going to be a while for them to do that.
nice pick picking season
It was nice to pick up the offense. They've been picking me up all season long.
late
I've got to get out there. I can't be late for stretching.
quick throws
Every one of those throws would have been close. They just weren't accurate. He has a good, quick move.
create good havoc
It was good to create a little havoc on the bases.
bad cup protective thinking wearing
It's so bad out there that I'm thinking of wearing a protective cup for the first time.
