goals individual mean team unless watching
It doesn't mean that much unless the team wins, ... Individual goals are great, but when I'm watching the playoffs, it won't mean that much.
baseball might miss playing team work
I'm still going to be playing baseball, still getting my work in. The team might miss me a little bit, but at the same time, when we get back, it will be like we've never left.
compared count game highs last team year
What I like about this year compared to last year is that I really haven't had a lot of fluctuation from big highs to big lows, ... When you do that, your team can count on you pretty much every game to make a contribution.
capable carrying gets guy hidden team zone
He is a guy that is capable of carrying his team with his bat. He kind of gets hidden in our lineup. He is in a zone right now, and when you get that way, you want to keep on playing.
carry gets team
When he gets hot, he can carry a team for a long time.
change coming goal momentum next pride season teams winning year
Our goal for this season was to make the playoffs, but if that's not going to happen, then having a winning season would at least be some consolation. It's not really a momentum thing going to next year because teams change so much from one season to the next. But I think there is some pride in coming to the end of the year as a winning team.
team turn
We still feel like this is a team that can compete. Unfortunately, this was our start, and we've got to turn it around.
fun team spring
It's not a fun process. There is no need for the team and a player to be on opposing sides a week or two before spring training. It's good to be on the same page.
team spring thinking
I think everybody out there on the American team is out of their element. That's not an excuse. That's the way it is. It's early in the spring. A lot of guys are not as (locked-in) as they could be.
case people time
We are still young, but at the same time we are experienced. Most people think of young as being inexperienced, and that's not the case here.
baseball body classic feels great opening ready spring training weirdest
I'm always ready on Opening Day. It's been the weirdest Spring Training that I've ever had. The World Baseball Classic didn't help, but I feel great and my body feels great.
goes pain swelling
When the swelling goes down and the pain goes down, we'll see how it goes.
again against best capitalize colon league pitchers pitching
We did have some opportunities because of the errors. We did capitalize on one of them, but their pitching was just too good. Colon is one of the best pitchers in the league and he showed that again against us.
answer bend coming ear happy knows leaning roger weeks
I think Roger Clemens knows what he wants. If he's got any questions, we'll be happy to answer them. Hopefully, he's leaning this way ... but I'm not going to go over there and bend his ear for 2 1/2 weeks about coming to play for us.
