If someone met me on a game day, he wouldn't like me. The days in between, I'm the goodest guy you can find.
I think anything is possible if you have the mindset and the will and desire to do it and put the time in.
I'm just going to treat it all week, ... My next outing is Friday on the road (at Milwaukee). So I'll start (today) rehabbing and getting ready to go again.
I'm just glad we're advancing. As we move on, the games will be a little larger and our guys will not only be able to play a few more innings in the field but you'll be able to see a certain amount of pitchers be able to throw a few more innings.
I'm just glad they asked me to be a part of this.
I told them there was no way I was going to run out on them,
As a starter, if I were to look at this lineup here, ... you're always going to have one or two guys. But when you get three or four ... you're going to have to be coming in with it.
You catch a lot of the younger players, just like I did when I was young, they listen a lot try and pick up on things that will help them down the road.
And she was as worried for me as I was for her, ... She was worried about how my body would hold up.
This is a whole different deal here, buddy.
As a starter, if I were to look at this lineup here, ... you're always going to have one or two guys. But when you get three or four ... you're going to have to be coming in with it.
I'm sure we'll probably be an underdog. But we've been that before.
I'm excited to be part of it. I've been looking forward to it ever since I heard the first details. Once I made the commitment, I've been excited.
I've never been here before. This is great.
