football baseball single-mom
In baseball, it's tough to get up for every single game, every single moment. In football, you have 90,000 fans screaming and the band's playing. I do miss that adrenaline rush.
baseball play done
In my opinion I really haven't done anything yet. I still have a lot to prove. I just want to prove to myself that I can play at the highest level of baseball in the world every day.
baseball football player
At Texas, I was a football player playing baseball. And the way I play I think I still am.
baseball natural bigs
I hope baseball doesn't get to the point where everyone's saying, 'He takes it [steroids]. He takes it. He takes it!' because not all of us do. I've been big my whole life, and I'll always be big. That's all natural.
baseball fun play
I have fun. I always have fun. I don't really get in a hurry about anything. I just try to go with the flow and have fun, and that's how I try to play baseball.
assume average baseball hit hitting home life people runs tried until
People assume I can't hit for average. I've hit for average all my life, until I got up here. It's not because I can't. It's because people have tried to get me to hit more homers. I'll hit even more home runs when I'm hitting the way I can.
couple players
I think we've been a couple of players away for a while, ... I think we're still a couple of players away from not just being good, but being really good.
pitch plate standing
I'm standing at the plate thinking, Where are my hands? Where's this, where's that? Before I know it, the pitch is there and I'm completely out of rhythm.
fans gets gives great
I think it's a great idea. It gets the fans into (the game) and gives us something to look at.
face stuff team teams
We can put up runs. We're a team I don't think a lot of teams want to face with stuff on the line.
display wish
I wish we had put on a better display for him.
checked doctor week
Yeah, I had it checked this week and the doctor said I should put a splint on it, but the heck with that.
games needs houston
Cincinnati needs to take notes from Houston. Houston fans are among the top five fans in the game.
serious hey ask-me
Hey, I'm serious here? Why do you have to ask me how many hits I have?
