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.
club fastball inside straight three threw turned
I threw three straight changeups to Boone, then a fastball inside and he turned on it. That club is doing all the things right, right now.
across exception improvement last numbers people year
We had some improvement last year but I don't think a lot of people noticed. You won't see it in my record, but all my numbers across the board, with the exception of strikeouts, improved.

You have to ask yourself what's at stake,
achieving good potential
The most frustrating part is we have the potential to be such a good ballclub, and we're not achieving what we need to achieve. It's so frustrating. We've been so close.
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.

believes leave leaves manager situation
He just told me that he believes in me enough to leave me out there in that situation to get out of it. When a manager believes in you in a situation like that, leaves you in, that's something to take to the bank. It did a lot for me. That was outstanding.
run support talk
Today, it's a new year. It's a new beginning, and we don't need to talk about run support anymore.
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.
fine grew guy heard jim structure
I heard Jim Leyland is an old-school guy and a disciplinarian, and that's fine with me. That's the kind of structure I grew up in.
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.
bit future jim
He's Jim Thome. He's good. But in the future with him, being left-handed, I've got to do a little bit better.
