Christ always had a passion for whatever He was doing. That's how I try to define myself as an athlete. That's the example I try to follow.
Whether I'm down or whether things are great, I try to stay the same person all the time.
I was trying my best to just stop that ball from going over the fence, I'd sacrifice my body if I have to. I've done that my whole career.
I go out every day and try to play great defense. I know my hitting will improve.
I try to walk like Christ in my life. If I strike out, I don't curse, or throw my bat or hit things back in the dugout, I try to quietly just put my helmet back. I may be very upset but I try to control myself.
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.
