aside easy explain fallen hard numbers personal point short team year
There are things you can't explain this year -- things that are hard to swallow. My personal stats -- numbers -- they're easy to put aside if you're winning. But as a team to this point we've fallen short of our expectations, and that's what makes it tougher.
balls beach life pitches throwing
I think I had life on my pitches -- I wasn't throwing beach balls up there, ... I don't think I'm tired.
except home
I thought I pitched well today, except for the home runs.
defense needed pitches win
I thought I had pitched well enough to win some of those games, ... Tonight, I made pitches when I needed them, and the defense made the plays.
driving finding home shock system three
Some of these guys, they're still driving home. They're not even home yet and they're finding out all this news. I've been part of this system for three years, and it's a shock to you. It's tough.
bit given hope judge man people respect stands turn win
I respect every bit who Trammell is and what he stands for, ... and I hope that respect is always given by the people of Detroit. There's times we didn't win and people started to turn a little bit, but you always judge a man by his character.
ask
You have to ask yourself what's at stake,
both bring chance enjoy kenny nice player positive presence speak table todd town veteran younger
It's going to be nice to have a veteran presence with both Todd and Kenny. I had a chance in 2004 to speak to Kenny when he was in town with Texas, and he's going to be nothing but a positive player around here for the younger pitchers. He's going to bring a lot to the table for us, and I'm going to enjoy having him around.
accept outcome rough year
It's been a rough stretch. Myself, I can't accept the outcome of this year for this team.
good lost played three ugly
The thing is, it's not been ugly baseball. We've lost three games, and we've played good baseball.
deal trying
It wasn't a deal where you're like, 'what a jerk' kind of deal. I know what he's trying to do.
pitch
It's situational things more with Leyland. Not necessarily with pitch selection, things like that.
coming disbelief laugh losses season short year
This year, coming up so short of what we wanted to be, it's kind of a deflated feeling, ... You're in disbelief of how the season has come to this point. I know I am. If you had told me I'd have 15 losses at the end of the year before the season starts, I'd laugh at you.
believes leaves manager situation
When a manager comes out in a situation like that, leaves you in and believes in you, that's something to take to the bank. It did a lot for me.
