baseball perspective pumped puts walked
You know, he was pumped when I just walked over to him. That was pretty neat. It puts things into perspective as a baseball player.
finishing guys playing preached
I've preached to a lot of guys in here about playing and finishing strong. Sure, it's a little frustrating for myself to not be able to finish.
basically good last majority played point
I've played through it, but it just got to the point where that was it. I couldn't basically run. I feel good about doing everything I could. I battled through a majority of the season, especially the last two weeks.
good grasp great kid laugh older talked
Sometimes I laugh when we talk. I'm 13 years older than he is. He's got a great grasp for what's going on out there. I don't think I've ever talked to a 22-year-old kid with as much of a good idea as he has.
best
That was probably the best double-play combination in baseball.
behind built chance great league number player
I think he's been tremendous. He's everything that everyone built him up to be. He's got a chance to be a great player in this league for a long time. Hopefully, I can play behind him for a number of years.
adjust awhile baseball best contact continue free hitting home people power takes talk
I think he's already one of the best ? if not the best ? catchers in all of baseball. He's going to continue to improve. People talk about power and hitting enough home runs. It takes awhile to adjust to the pitching. He's a contact hitter. He's not a free swinger.
difference worked
We're all right. We worked it out. Just a little difference of opinion.
behind plate
I'm serious. I've been behind the plate when it's happened.
needed
We needed something to get us over the hump.
guys respectful tough
Guys are being respectful of the situation, how tough it is for everybody, the organization, our fans, T.K., everybody. You've got to respect that. You respect that as long as it takes.
great works
He's a great kid. He works his butt off. He's hungry.
hit pull
If I was out there, that is where I would play me. That's how I play. I don't pull the ball. I just hit it pretty well this time.
against anytime beat division great played playing teams win
Obviously, anytime you get beat and go 0-9 against teams in your own division, sure, those things hurt. We just haven't played that well. Do we still play them 16 more times each? Yeah. So who's to say we can't win 12 or 13 from each of those teams. We could do that, too. That's what's great about playing teams in your division so many times.
