noticeable
Oh, yeah, it's been noticeable for a while now,
change excited few five gets pitchers spoke strung together
There were 26 the other day when he spoke to pitchers and catchers. He spoke for five minutes. He was doing well, and then he strung together a few at the end. He gets excited and animated. He's not going to change because that's what makes him who he is.
best family far hope next
As far as him quitting, I hope not, I'd like to come back here next year, but he has to do whatever's best for him, best for his family and best for his health.
biggest love people reasons
There are a lot of reasons why I like it here, but the biggest is because it's home. I love the people . . . and I wouldn't want anything else.
game home meaningful opportunity sat series sink situation until
I had an opportunity to play in the World Series and actually play in a game and get meaningful at-bats. To be in that situation . . . it didn't sink in until I got home and sat down.
copy lucky
I probably will go get a copy of that film and keep it, just so I can say I did it one time. Honestly, in this game, you get lucky sometimes, and sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
bit dominating hit throw wants
He still can be just as dominating when he wants to. I think sometimes now, when he makes a mistake, it may get hit a little bit more often, because he doesn't throw 98 or 99 now. But he's still a dominating pitcher.
pitch pop realize strike
I didn't realize it was up around my shoulders. If he makes that pitch 99 more times, I probably strike out 75 times and pop up the other 24 times. I just got lucky, I think.
answer best decision dies family far happiness hope lives loose next team
He's not as loose and happy-go-lucky as he was but, hey, that's the way it is. When you're a manager, the team lives and dies on your decision and at the end of the day you have to answer for the way your team plays, ... As far as him quitting, I hope not, I'd like to come back here next year, but he has to do whatever's best for him, best for his family and best for his health.
badly calls came crucial talked team tough umpire whether wrong
I do feel badly for (Eddings). I know that's part of it, that when you're an umpire you take (garbage). You're always going to be wrong whether it's for one team or the other team. He could have made 200 calls right that game, but that play is the one that's going to be talked about because it came in such a crucial situation. It's a tough job.
both normally period
They'll both be OK. Right now they're both going through the dead-arm period that they would normally go through in the spring.
everybody game until win
It's another game off the schedule, ... Until they tell us it's clinched or everybody else is mathematically eliminated, we'll try to win every game.
bats swinging throwing
It was a combination of us not swinging the bats and he was throwing it well.
