I guess you could use the words 'Steady Eddie.' He doesn't get too high or low. He's got a real calm demeanor to him. Pressure or no pressure, he gets the job done.

I don't know how they figure that stuff out, but it's definitely a compliment for someone to recognize the fact that I play good defense. I don't know what those numbers mean, but the bottom line is to go out and catch the ball.

I didn't even see the ball. I just saw Robb take off. Joey (Cora) was yelling at me, 'Go, go, go!' So I tried to get up and get back on my horse. As soon as I could, I was out of gas. I thought I got my hand in there.

bottom came chase coach fire guys half lights lost marc nice surprised thrown
I'm surprised more guys didn't get thrown out by what was going on in the dugout. I thought we lost (first-base coach Marc Bombard), Chase and Charlie. I told (Howard) half our roster is gone. Sometimes that lights a fire under your (butt). It's nice that we came out and got the win, bottom line.

It's not that big a deal. You don't run after a fly ball and then say, 'Oh my God, the hill!' You just go after it.

Everybody wants to put a little more into it than what it is. Ultimately, my goal is to catch the ball. If something is in my way, so be it. My job out there is to catch balls.

I want to impress everyone, and I haven't been hitting. I've been beating myself up about it all spring. I tried to keep it simple tonight. Hopefully, that's what I'll take into the season.

It's even more exciting now than it would be if I was still on the team. It's going to be the last time I get to see the guys for a while. This will be a good reunion.
