When you have so many different opportunities and you can't deliver the big hit, it's frustrating. That was the difference. Last night we got the big blow.
I felt like if we could have delivered the knockout punch there, it could have been a long night for them,
As the night got later, it got a little worse and stiffened up. I think I should be all right.
I remember I couldn't get to sleep that night because Kirby Puckett had said hello to me.
It's frustrating, because we know what the potential is, going back to Opening night. Not to be able to score more than one run, we have to get in a rhythm. We're going to be fine, but we want to get started, hopefully tomorrow.
It's frustrating because we know what the potential here is, obviously. We have to get back to Opening Night and get a rhythm going.
It was freezing. The first night we were snowed out so we had to wait until the second night to open. Being from Miami, I couldn't believe how cold it was. That's all I was thinking about. Bill Wagner started for them but it was a pretty good night for me.
I think we're very fortunate to be in the position we're in considering how many opportunities early on we really let go.
I think it was the last one he threw. I'm glad he threw one. He had us talking to each other, and really nothing was said that was helpful.
It gave us a little fire in our bellies to get going a little bit.
Jason is going to have a monster year for us.
Last time I was here, things went really bad, not only for me, but for my team. And I look at it as an opportunity to start a new year, a new chapter. And ironically enough, I come up with a game-winning hit in this situation, where last year, I was the biggest goat, and today I get to be a hero. There's ... a lesson to be learned, I guess.
Last time here, I was the biggest goat. Today, I get to be the hero.
I said it once that I wasn't playing and then at the end I said I was playing. But between that was ... speculation, back and forth, which I thought was ridiculous.
