school heart men
I like to be like the old-school guys. They played hard, man, and they played from the heart. They didn't play to just get checks.
games want hitting
I want to develop every base of my game-stealing bases, hitting, being a better fielder.
trying pressure
I'm going to try to not put a lot of pressure on myself.
team hate known
I hate walking around known as a team that loses all the time.
want
I just want to become a great leadoff hitter.
thinking gaps way
Whenever I hit a ball in the gap, I'm thinking the extra bases. I never slow down. That's the only way you're going to get triples.
matter playoffs seems
Whatever happened in the regular season seems to not matter in the playoffs.
teacher real hero
Listen to your parents, do your homework and listen to your teachers. Those are the real heroes.
past matter happened
Whatever happened in the past doesn't really matter anymore to us right now.
running games would-be
Nobody even mentioned the word losing, losing games. We know we've been a losing franchise. He just wanted to say something back like he's always running his mouth. That's what he does. He runs his mouth all the time. Nobody was blaming him for anything. For him to come back at me was a personal attack. I feel that if there is anything that he is unsure about, tell him I would be more than happy to say it in his face, or any kind of other way, that would make him understand.
coming knew run
We wanted to try and get at least one run because we knew who was coming up for them.
messing playing stir team trying
If we were playing a team that wasn't in it we'd still want to win. I don't want to say we like messing up their plans. I'm not trying to stir up nothing on the other side.
brought demeanor passion similar
He's got the same kind of passion I have. We're kind of similar in a lot of ways. That's why I think that's what brought us together, the demeanor that we have to get better, the competitive edge.
almost punished worst
I don't get it. I don't know why it's like that. It's almost like we're being punished for having the worst record.
