add course good job ourselves red stay teams
I think we have the makings of it. Those are two teams (Yankees and Red Sox) that will go out and always try to add on, even during the course of a season. We have to do a good job getting ourselves going early. We have a lot of things here to make a push. If we stay healthy, we're going to end up where we want to be.
biggest bring brought city everybody fun guys people point quality selling steps
I think that is the biggest selling point for me, the city and the people in the organization. Also the steps they have taken, not only bring guys in but everybody they have brought in has been quality people. It's fun to be part of something like that.
best causes finishing gm good half last nice settle stay third wants willing year
J.P. wants to win. When you have a GM like that who isn't willing to settle for finishing third every year it causes a lot of changes. Last year we did the best we could to get in it and stay in it but it's nice to see that after the year we had, the first half we had, it still wasn't good enough, that we wanted to get better.
ball catcher fun nice receives sets wants work
He does a nice job, sets up well. He's fun to work with because he wants to make adjustments for the pitchers, do what you'd like to do and make adjustments for you. It's nice having a catcher like that who receives the ball well so it's going to be fun.
baseball early felt good health physically work
Physically I felt good. That's always a good thing early on, having the health there. Then you got to work on executing.
couple early felt good health hit miss start work
Physically, I felt good. So that's always a good thing early on -- having the health there. The cutter was kind of hit or miss today, so there's still a couple things to work on. Obviously, you would like to start better, but I got my work in.
claim pitching share talking
I enjoy talking pitching and talking baseball. And I don't have all the answers. I don't claim to, but I'm more than happy to share my beliefs.
biggest close finding games gets hopefully late throughout ways win
For us to get into it, we have to find ways to win games like today. That's the biggest thing for me. Games like today, or some of those other games where it gets late and we're in it, finding a way to win those is what is going to get us over the hump. We have to get that going. Hopefully throughout the season, we'll win those close games.
bother season three win
That doesn't bother me, someone who has pitched the whole season should win it, not someone who pitched for three months,
base either half inch
Half an inch either way, it's a base hit,
feeling gave gets good left rest stands until
It gave A.J. and the rest of us a better idea where he stands physically. It's left him feeling a little more comfortable about his rehabilitation. And it was good for us, because now we kind of feel that, okay, we can get things done until he gets back.
career couple dream finish five hopefully rings series true worry
I think it would be a dream come true to be able to finish my career there. But I've got five years to worry about that and hopefully a couple of World Series rings in between.
ball felt keeping work
I wasn't sharp. Physically, I felt good. I need to work on keeping the ball down.
adjustment couple good innings talk today
Today was a lot better. It's good to get a couple of innings and then to come in and talk it over between innings and to go back out and make an adjustment or two. For the most part, we're real close.
