ceiling guy kid
With a young kid with the kind of ceiling he's got -- if he makes this team, he's going to be a big contributor on this team. He's not going to be a middle-of-the-road or long guy or whatever.
everybody guys mean natural power since
Natural is better. Now guys with power mean more since not everybody has it.
bigger close few front given great guys number present ready situation
It's a big number for anybody, but it's probably a bigger number for me, because I haven't done it in a few years. There are a lot of guys out there who can close if they are given the opportunity. Or they are out there in front of a guy who is a great closer. Whatever, the situation doesn't present itself. You have to be ready when it does present itself.
good guys missed pitch soon today
I wanted to pitch good today and show them that I'm here for the duration. It was important for me to get back with the guys as soon as I could because I missed 'em.
admirable aspect collect competitor contract expect gotten guys history hurt knowing pitch recent seen
I think it's admirable what he did, because there have been some guys in recent history that have gotten their contract and gotten hurt and went home, never to be seen again. Knowing Troy, he was going to have to (try) because he was professional in every aspect of the game, so you didn't expect him to just not show up and collect his checks. He was going to try and pitch because he's a competitor first and foremost.
guy guys relate type
He's the type of guy that not too many guys can relate to because they just don't know what it's like to have that kind of stuff.
signs target time
The signs are there that they can do it. It's going to take a long time for them to get to that Target level.
retailers specialty teen
The teen retailers and some of the specialty retailers were the clear-cut winners.
bad direction everybody good inner loved pulling struggles team tear
I've been on good teams, I've been on bad teams, every good team I've ever been on we loved each other. You need everybody pulling in the right direction because there's just too much that can tear a team apart. You don't need inner struggles to do that.
felt pitches
Of the 20-something pitches I threw, I think only two weren't strikes. So I felt pretty good. I was very happy. Not once did I feel anything that made me think about it.
goes great
Dontrelle pitched great and he got the loss. It's not very fair. That's the way it goes though.
handing marlin somebody stupid
You feel kind of stupid actually handing out Marlin T-shirts to somebody like that.
again bullets consider dodging great hitter knew luck maybe tomorrow totally
Totally luck, totally luck. Lance Berkman is a great hitter and he knew what I was going to throw. I get it in maybe just a hair, just enough. I don't want to have to do that again tomorrow because he's a great hitter and I consider it dodging bullets when I do that. Seriously.
devil finished pitch thinking
I thought I was finished then. I was thinking if I can't make the Devil Rays, can I pitch anymore? Is this it, is this how I go out? It was embarrassing not to be able to make that team.
