absolutely cliff conscious dugout effort fun guys knack pride takes winning year
Absolutely there are guys who have a knack for winning games. Cliff is one of them, and it's very underrated. All year long, if we have a big inning, he makes a conscious effort to get us back in the dugout fast. He takes a lot of pride in that. He's fun to play behind.
messages send time white year
You don't send any messages this time of year (to the White Sox).
broke point reading
I thought it was broke all the way up to the point they were reading the X-rays.
college dame games sidelines texas top
I was on the sidelines for Notre Dame. I have to say the Notre Dame and Texas games were two of the top 20 games in college history.
bouncing cash worry
It's frustrating, not to be able to cash in. We need to get over it. But I don't worry about us bouncing back.
dad game good people sounds time win
My dad used to say all the time to go out and win this inning. It's one pitch, one inning, one game at a time. It sounds ridiculous, but people who are good at doing it have more success.
couple familiar learn season sinking weeks
It's been slow. The first couple of weeks were kind of slow, but you've got to put yourself in my shoes. I wasn't familiar at all with the offense. These other guys, even the rookies, were here all season and spring. I've had two weeks to learn the offense, but it's sinking in.
andy both certain expect expected gives kid ready talented
If I do what I expect I'll do and Andy does what he's expected to do, there will be a place for both of us. If you have a young, talented kid who is ready at a certain point, it gives them (Indians officials) some options.
enjoyed enjoys field guy playing stands tough
For me, he really stands out as a guy I've really enjoyed playing with. He enjoys playing the game. He's a tough out, and he does things in the field like he did today.
early feet seems struggle swing
It seems like every spring, early on, I struggle a little to get my feet under me out there. I don't like it, but it's just getting back in the swing of things.
awesome lost pickup remember together trade
I think it got a little lost in the Coco Crisp trade, but if Mota is healthy, that's an awesome pickup for us. I remember when he and (Eric) Gagne were together in the Dodgers' bullpen. They were electric.
tone
They completely set the tone for us tonight.
feeling
I made some adjustments and I'm feeling better. I'm getting back on track.
goes guy importance time
Obviously, we know the importance C.C. has to this team, so any time a guy like that goes down there is some concern. But you feel for him as a person more than anything.
