baseball change fact job
It was odd. My first at-bat was just weird. But it doesn't change the fact that it's still baseball and you've got to get the job done.
came fans looking understand
The fans came here excited, but we didn't give them what they were looking for. I understand their reaction.
ball catcher good leaning memory reaching seeing waking
I have no memory of it, nothing between reaching for the ball ... and then waking up and seeing (Reds catcher Jason) LaRue leaning over me, which wasn't a good sight.
ask walked
I walked in and had to ask which way to go.
glad locker opposite sides
I told Cota I'm glad we're on opposite sides of the locker room.
game looked pitching step
It looked like they had the game won. They had a lot of opportunities there and our pitching was able to step up and really come through for us. That was big-time.
feeling kept rally together
It kept feeling like we were about to put together a big inning, and the rally would just die. Hopefully, that won't be a trend.
eight great house last
It's great to be back, it really is. For the last eight years, this has been pretty much my home. We still have our house (in the suburbs).
fans great love special
It's great to be back. I love the Reds fans and I'll always have a special place for them.
fond great memories
It's great to be back. I have a lot of fond memories here.
area coming decided definitely driving house pirate smith spring stadium weird
It's definitely weird driving by Ed Smith Stadium (the Reds spring home) over there and coming over here (to Pirate City). We like the area over there. To tell you the truth, I (rented) the house before I was traded. I just decided to keep the house, make the commute.
deal good guys half job pinch playing size tried
Size was a big deal for them, especially with their big guys playing like they did. We tried to pinch them in on the ends, but that didn't work. We didn't do a good job of that in the first half and that was the game.
board kids member school sold
The kids really sold that vote, more than any adult, any administrator or any school board member who was there, in my opinion.
excited forward hello looking saying special
It will be special to see the fans, I'm really excited about that. The ones that were here for all those years, I'm looking forward to saying hello to everyone.
