baseball besides entirely facilities focus games great piece played spring training travel weather whoever
Besides that, the weather is great, the travel is a piece of cake, you can focus entirely on baseball and the facilities are first-class because games are played at Spring Training stadiums. I had a blast. Whoever thought of the AFL, it was a great idea.
exhibition forward four further innings looking playing rather reason relax round spring states stay united win
One reason I am looking forward to playing is because of the misconception that the United States is going to take this as an exhibition rather than a competitive tournament, and that could not be further from the truth. If I wanted to just relax I would stay in Spring Training, play my four innings and then go play a round of golf. I want to win this thing.
change goal hate less playing spring talent waste
In spring training, our goal was to get to the postseason, and we said anything less than that would be a disappointment, ... And that's not going to change now. We know that with all the talent we have in our clubhouse, we hate to waste it by not playing in the postseason.

It was a fairly challenging match for both teams. We missed a lot of chances, but the team is young and were not composed so they lost.

There was an initial run up of several dollars per barrel in crude last week. It's given up nearly all those gains.

I want to take some deep breaths, get a pitch I can handle, put the barrel of the bat on it and hopefully find a hole.

It's never happened before (in Pennsylvania), to my knowledge. It raises questions about his preparedness for office.

The fear of God is going to be gone.
mean playing wins
I'm not going to downplay something so significant; it would mean a lot. But, at the same time, it's not what I'm playing for. I'm playing for us to get as many wins as possible.
relying
I just want to be a little more consistent. I've been relying a lot on instincts.
