best chance five game games hope hoping percent spring starting team training win wins year
Being a starting pitcher, you want to be a 20-game winner. Every year you come into spring training hoping to get to that part. I've always said if I win five games and the team wins 90 percent of my starts, that's all I can hope for, give my team the best chance to win.
babe center good home light road struggles team uses
The team that struggles on the road or the one that uses the light in center field? Something's strange. They don't play so good on the road, and at home everybody's Babe Ruth.
club coming crowd games guys last nervous talking team
To be honest, this was probably one of the most nervous games I've ever pitched in. Coming off last year, the crowd was really into it. The guys on the other club have been kind of mouthing off, talking about how they were a better team than us. So I really wanted us to come out and do just what we did.
chances hurt percent respect ruin team white
I thought, in respect to my team and fans, if I did go out and get hurt it would ruin our chances of repeating. I wanted to give 100 percent to (the White Sox).
knew million pay settle team
They didn't pay him $55 million for nothing. I knew I had to settle down to give our team a chance.
games guys might staff team three win year
I think we have at least two guys on this staff that can win 20 games this year with the team we have, the offense. Like I've said before, it does take a lot of luck. There's a lot that has to happen. But I think it's not just two that can win 20 games on this staff. There might be three or more that can do it.
affect hard people team
I think they have some hard feelings. We're not going to let that affect us. If people want to say we don't have team leaders, that's their own thought.
again beat best everybody fourth last pick surprise team time wants
Any time your team wins, everybody else wants to go out and beat the best. We were the best last year, so everybody is gunning for us. It is going to be a little scary. I want everybody to pick us fourth again so we can surprise some people.
far joking keeping managers office socialize starts stuck team
He's outgoing. He's never in his office, ... Some managers are stuck in their office and don't socialize with everyone else. He's out here joking around, laughing, keeping everyone loose. I think it starts with him, as far as keeping our team loose.
anyone came hustle last leaders mad might ready team
If he's such a team leader, then why is he on so many teams? He's on a different team every year. I really don't think he was one of our leaders last year. He came to the field, and there wasn't anyone else that came ready to play and hustle as much as he did during the season, but I think he might be a little mad because he's not on our team anymore. I don't know.
team winning giving
You're going to have to go out there and throw tons of zeroes to give your team a chance to win.
baseball team school
Everybody wants to be a professional baseball player and, sure, as a kid, I wanted to do that. But once I got cut from my high school team, I figured there wasn't much chance of that ever happening. I'm still in awe of it.
mom dad team
I was so small, I wasn't even going to go back out for my junior year. But my mom and dad sat me down and said, 'we didn't raise a quitter - you're going back out.' I made the team and everything happened from there.
ball four goes since threw
I've been doing that for four years. He said, 'You've got to come to first.' I don't know how I didn't since I threw the ball there. That's a big deal. It goes from 2-0 to 5-0.
