Maybe next year I'll have a better hunch.
felt job paid
I felt guilty, ... You get paid to do a job and don't do it, you have to feel guilty.
attitude develop good start win
We need to get off to a good start and develop an attitude that we are going to win so we don't have that 'here-we-go-again' attitude.
home needed played premium team threw
Still, he threw out 50 home runs, ... and he played his best, at a premium position, when his team needed him most.
good guys term
It's good to see, ... You always want to see the guys you're going to go with long term in there and see how it goes.
front slice
It wasn't going foul, ... You know when you get out in front and the ball's going to slice a little more. I wasn't in front of that ball.
compete knowing
They are not kids, and they are not inexperienced anymore. They have to go into the off-season knowing they can compete here.
ask facial hair
I told him that he has more facial hair than I do. Of course, I had to ask if he was really 12 years old.
good pitchers seen
We've seen some pretty good pitchers this year. And this is a young team. Many of them haven't seen pitchers like this.
time
There are no more excuses. It's time to put it on the line. It's time to win.
hit knew
When I hit it I knew it was gone. I got all of it and it was a big hit at the time.
heard leaves perspective puts
When we heard about (Barmes), we were thinking, 'That's terrible, what are we going to do,' ... Then the skipper leaves and his daughter's having seizures, and it puts it all back in perspective really quick.
ball definitely everybody experience gets good mean talent time win
Time will tell but we definitely have the talent, but that doesn't mean nothing. We have to go out and win ball games. There are a lot of good players. The more experience everybody gets the better we are going to be.
chances couple help hits stayed
We stayed in it, but they did little things to win. We didn't do that. They had some big hits and, of course, I had a couple chances to help us out and didn't do it. It's frustrating.
