I don't want to be the police of the clubhouse. You don't go talk to the police. A lot of people don't trust the police. I want to be that counselor in the clubhouse. If you need somebody to talk to, you can come talk to me about anything.
I'm going to put his jersey in there and leave it in there. He's somebody who inspired me to play the game of baseball. This guy pushed me to get to the major leagues. 'I want you to come to take my spot, OK, Little Puck.' He called me Little Puck.
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.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens after Sunday. Maybe it's a countdown for Sunday, and then it'll only get better after that day.
