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.
carry gets team
When he gets hot, he can carry a team for a long time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
hitters less noticed offense pitching pressure shown staff throwing time
I've noticed we've been going after hitters a lot more this year, and throwing more strikes, and it's shown in our success. It's been nice. Any time the pitching staff is doing that better and more consistently, there's a lot less pressure on the offense going in.
last none ranger unhappy
I've never been more unhappy as a Ranger than the last two weeks. Nothing's going right. A lot of things are going on, and none of them are positive.
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.
ball hardest hit
That was the hardest ball ever hit to me down at first base.
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.
