ability chance everybody game hard nobody plays teams
I think we've got a chance to be a lot better this year. If everybody just plays to their ability. Nobody really has to go off, nobody has to do anything crazy. There are going to be teams better than us, talent-wise, but we are going to play the game hard and we never give up.
ball hard moves threw throws tough
He throws hard, the ball moves everywhere. He threw a hard slider. He's tough to hit.
face hard minutes rather smile takes walk
I'd rather make that walk when we won, ... It's kind of hard 2 minutes after the game's over and we lose. It takes a little while to take (a loss) off. It's kind of hard to walk around there with a smile on your face when you just lost, but you got to do it for the fans.
baseball hard-work degrees
Tarring a highway in 90-degree heat is hard work. This is baseball. Something I love.
reason
Better be. That's the reason we put up with this year.
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.
good pitches tried
I got some good pitches to hit, but I tried to do a little too much.
expected good guess
I didn't really know what to expect. I guess I expected to feel good and I did feel good.
I'd kill myself if I wasn't here and we started winning.
baseball expect good knowing sitting stomach weird worse
I don't know what to expect. I don't know why baseball would make my stomach feel any worse than sitting on the couch. It's kind of weird not knowing what to expect. But I expect to feel good and I do feel good.
angles face
I wouldn't want to want to face him as a right-handed hitter. He comes at you at too many angles and at too many speeds.
Some of it is the pitching. Some of it is us.
maybe next year
Maybe next year I'll have a better hunch.
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.
