When I was younger, I was always taught not to make excuses.
I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
Everyone fears rejection.
The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would have worked harder.
This is why you play -- to get an opportunity to play in the playoffs,
From playing with him, if you don't capitalize on him early he gets stronger. You hope it doesn't come back to haunt you, but looking at it now we wished we could have gotten a couple more runs there. But he made good pitches and he got out of the inning and then we had opportunities later in the game and didn't do anything with it.
From what I understand he never mentioned my name. My name was brought into it, but it never came out of his mouth.
I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who had the chance to play. It was a good experience besides the results.
He seems not to be bothered by anything, and that will help him here. Obviously he's a great player. But he's not going to have any trouble adjusting to New York after being in Boston.
He's got that demeanor where he's just having fun, it seems like. Sort of like Soriano a little bit in that sense. He's always smiling, having a good time. He doesn't seem to be affected.
He's as tough as any pitcher in baseball. We tried to score early and Robby had the big hit.
He's been pitching well. Today, he scuffled more than he has in the past. He battled us out of a couple of jams.
He's been pitching well, ... Today, he scuffled more than he has in the past. He battled us out of a couple of jams.
He's been huge. I think the thing with Chacon is he's not intimidated by anything, ... It seems like he has all the confidence in the world.
