fast level moves
To be 19 years old and do what he did at the major-league level that spring, that's impressive. Everything moves fast at this level, and he didn't back down.
ball dirt head hit running saw sudden
The only thing I see, I just put my head down to the right and he was running to the base. All of a sudden I see A.J. running and I'm confused, I don't know what's going on. When someone said the ball hit the dirt and then I saw him running and that's it.

ball garland good home pay run runs three threw
When you have opportunities and you don't take advantage, you're going to pay for it. I think it was a pretty good ballgame. Garland threw the ball pretty good, Cotts and Politte threw the ball real good. It was just a home run in that inning. Three home runs killed us.

We've got to approach the game the same way. You win the World Series, that was last year. We've got to approach the game the same way we did in the past and not believe the hype.

When you are in second place, it's a different way. When you are in first, you can take care of yourself before somebody else does it, ... Once the reaction went down, you saw the three runs come up right away. It was a great feeling.
throwing
To me he wasn't throwing good, ... So that's why I went to go get him right away.

Uribe can't hit a guy who throws junk. And then he hits a triple against the toughest pitcher in baseball.

The reason for the White Sox winning was I tried to build a team like theirs. They're fun to watch. They run the bases, they play hard and they don't make mistakes. I like the teams Ronald builds.
ballpark happening players
There has been a lot of pressure, but every day, I've come to the ballpark with the same enthusiasm, the same face, the same attitude, ... If I don't, the players will look and me and say, 'Uh-oh, what's happening here?'
