When we came up, we were always told go the opposite field no matter what. If you didn't go the opposite field when I first came up, you weren't going to play. It was said you had to force inside pitches to right field to stay in the lineup.
My favorite book in the Bible is always Proverbs because it's where you can find wisdom for no matter what you're going through. It hits me every time I read it. I've always read Proverbs regularly because it helps me deal with what's happening every day in real life.
I want to hit the ball and I want to get at-bats. The results really dont matter to me.
I've patterned my game after him. He's like a big brother to me.
I smell blood. I'm like a pit bull. Once I taste blood I'm on you ... and I'm about to taste blood.
I've been with Brad forever, I've known him 13 years, and it's tough to see him go through this. He's such a great guy and it might possibly be his last year. To see him go through this, this early, we know he can still make a good comeback. And that's what we're banking on.
Everybody knows if Shannon stays healthy, he's going to set the table. He's the igniter, and we need him in the lineup.
Everybody goes through that at some point. I'm not an April guy, I usually start off slow. I've gone 0-for-23 before, and ended up hitting .290, so he'll be fine.
We couldn't pick up the ball early because of the shadows, but that's just an excuse. He was throwing well.
We'll try to clear up some things, kind of throw all that out of the way. I'm sure it's gone, but we're going to reiterate it. I don't think we have too many bad guys here.
I think Matt Lawton is going to surprise everyone. He's coming in there with something to prove.
I thought I had a shot at it.
Seven or eight home runs. He's got like 12 at-bats with eight shots.
Um, it's hard to say, we were playing Kansas City.
