One bad pitch. Other than that he was outstanding, he was great.

It was going to be more years, more dollars if it was going to be a free-agent signing.
game hopefully middle pitches plate pray
The only thing we can do is probably pray a lot. Hopefully he makes a lot of pitches up the middle of the plate and he's not on his game that day.
came knowing player
We've got to come in and do our thing. We're not just any player on the team. We came here knowing what we need to do.
fine guys time
We're going to be fine this time, ... We have time to get some guys some rest. That could be really important.
baseball player guy
We're baseball players. We don't need guys telling us, 'Hey, you need to hurry. Hey, you need to do this. Hey, you need to step up.' We are professionals, we can do that without anybody telling us. I'm OK with it, but we need to do it on our own.
believe mad pitching
If you're a pitcher, and you're pitching and you strike me out and you start celebrating on the mound and showing me off, whenever I get a hit off you, I'm going to go and celebrate, and you shouldn't get mad. If you're a pitcher and strike me out and show me respect and you don't show me up, when I get a homer or a hit, I'm not going to show you up. That's what I believe.
team player people
I'm a pretty easygoing guy. I'm not hard to get along with. I never had anybody that I had trouble with. On the other team, sometimes you don't like players because of the way they act, but then you get to know them and then they're very good people. But I never disliked anybody.
basketball baseball brother
We [ me and brother] wanted to win at things like basketball games or baseball games, but off the field we never felt like we had to compete with each other.
mom baseball brother
I think my mom and dad did a great job with that, because we [with brother] never had any competition in baseball. We always tried to help each other.
video stadiums
When I got to the stadium, one of my biggest things was watching video of hitters.
heart angel player
I liked playing with David Eckstein (former Angels shortstop). I'm not talking about players with top skills, I'm sure there were players with way more skill than him, but there were very few people in the league that had the heart like him.
sports baseball motivation
You have to have a lot of motivation, a lot of heart and be able to work hard. You can never be down on yourself because baseball is a sport that will bring you down [at times].
