change crying figured five good josh number starting willing
Josh was crying to me for five years with the Marlins that he always wanted No. 19 so I told him I'd be willing to give it up. I think change is good sometimes. So I figured why not? I'm on a new team, new number and everything is new. I'm kind of starting from scratch. I feel good about that.
approach change intensity looking scoreboard
It doesn't change your intensity or your approach or your preparation. But it does have you looking at the scoreboard a lot more often.
pitches
I think he's going to see better pitches in the American League.
goes lack maybe miami people pieces pin ripping size skin
I think maybe the lack of Miami humidity will be helpful. I know that was a big thing. It's unbelievable, the size of some of those blisters. People think 'blister, just prick it with a pin and it goes away.' But he was ripping whole pieces of skin off of his finger.
batting drive good hit line people practice yell
People just yell at you more. You hit a line drive in batting practice and they're going crazy. It's actually a good feeling.
attitude bandwagon believe fans giving guess guys identify money prove start tough watch win wrong
Sure, there's been a little bandwagon jumping. But I think that's only normal, ... It's tough to identify with guys who haven't been with the organization for a while. I still believe you have to win back the fans, and I still think, after '97, I guess the fans had an attitude of 'You got to prove us wrong before we start giving you our money to watch you play.'
arm bummed guys kept moving playing plenty range saw second strength
I think at first I was a little bummed out because I saw guys playing second and thought I could do a better job, ... As I kept moving up you see the range guys have. I had plenty of arm strength for third.
happy hard work
I'm so happy for Luis, ... He's so hard on himself. I told him, 'Hey, just keep swinging. It'll work out.'
hit protecting
I think they just didn't want anything to get out of hand. I don't make anything of it. He was protecting Jeter; they thought we hit him. It was no big deal.
danger hit key point pull since wall
I think there's a danger if you try to hit it off the wall every time. But, ever since I was 6 years old I was a pull hitter, and my key is to look middle, and I'm going to pull because that's my point of contact.
destroy dugout run
He wanted to destroy the dugout after that first inning. But the way he threw, to be down one run after that inning, I'd take that.

against becomes braves card coming front leading left playing september teams three weeks wild
These teams are out of it in May and they're way outdrawing us. And even in September we're coming down to the wire, leading the wild card with about three weeks left and we're playing in front of 17,000 against the Braves on a weekend. That's where it becomes very frustrating.
