alley dark england midnight recognized walk
You can't walk in a dark alley at midnight and not be recognized in New England.
ace goal playoff regardless unless
The goal is 15 wins, 200 innings, regardless of when you get them. I don't necessarily want to be anybody's ace unless it comes to playoff time.
aggressive good knew park playing today warming
I went out there today and was warming up in the 'pen, and I knew I had good stuff. When you've got good stuff, especially playing in a park like this, that's so big, you can be really aggressive and kind of go after these guys.
chest high left middle missed neck outer trying
It was an 0-2 fastball. I was trying to go up around his neck at the middle of the plate. I missed and left it chest high on the outer half.
felt fine pleased
I'm not pleased with the results, but I felt fine physically.
coach enjoy hands knowing laid looking nice personally pitching throwing unless
It's nice to have that familiarity, knowing how you should be looking and how you should be throwing the ball. I personally enjoy a pitching coach who's very laid back, very hands off for the most part, unless you have a problem.
best business chess close definitely gm matter personally pieces player players playing
We're definitely close, probably as close as you get to a GM as a player but it's a business. It doesn't matter how you feel personally about somebody. You've got to make the best move. It's like playing a chess match. You're just pieces on a freaking board, that's what players are in this business. It doesn't matter how much they like you.
good home runs sleep
I'm not disappointed at all. It's the first outing, man. If I were to give up 100 runs I'd go home and get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow.
good home runs sleep
If I go out there and give up 100 runs I'll just go home and get a good night's sleep and come back tomorrow.
I thought that was all we would get.
business everybody expect good great guy handle low media mike outside type worry
I think he's the type of guy who's going to come in here and handle the pressure. He's pretty low key. He does his business and he doesn't worry about what's going on outside (with the media attention). I think he's going to play great defense, and I expect him to have a good year, where everybody will say this is the Mike Lowell that we know.
build legs spring training trying
I didn't feel like I had my legs under me, but that's what spring training is for, trying to build up stamina.
ball percent run
If there's a ball in the gap, Manny Ramirez will run 110 percent after it.
age brought closer door easy enjoyed felt friendly front gap gm honesty level people table
I enjoyed having him around. I think he brought a lot of honesty to the table as a GM and also, he's kind of closer to our age group, so it was easy to communicate with him. The door was always open. People always say that, but it's hard, a lot of times, when you have a big gap in age. A lot of times people aren't as friendly in front offices, it can be more like a principal-student thing. With Theo, you always felt like you were on the same level as him.
