We're going to have to be ready. It's not like it's a 162-game season, where if you lose a game early, it's fine. If you want to advance, you have to win.
everybody perception players ready step teams wants
There's a perception about the players' attitudes--that they're not ready mentally. They may be nonchalant now, but once players step on the field, it'll be a different story. Everybody wants to win, you can't let teams show you up.

After my senior year in high school, I was playing in some summer league and a scout said, 'If you keep after this, you might be able to make some money doing this.' So I knew I'd choose baseball.
awesome closer good great guy hit home hoping location mistake plate run
This guy is an awesome closer with a good fastball, good location and a great changeup, ... I was just hoping he'd make a mistake up and over the plate that I could hit hard. When I hit it, I was just hoping it would get up over (Giles') head. A home run would have been a bonus.

early expect regard second
I didn't expect to have as many homers, ... but I've always done better in the second half. I don't regard myself as a home-run hitter. I'm more of a line-drive hitter. It's too early to make a judgment.
