Their pitching staff is as good as any team in baseball. You don't want to fall behind them, but unfortunately, we did. We were able to scratch and claw for a couple of late runs.
If you ask me, I don't think he's done pitching, but that has nothing to do with what he's said to me. It has nothing to do with any conversation we've had.
I know I said it last year, but winning the Gold Glove for the second consecutive season is extremely gratifying. Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games,
You have to keep the demand out there for them. You can't just give them up right away. It's like when you go to a club and there's a long line out front, then you get inside and there's nobody inside. The wait is the best part.
If you're going to win, ... you have to have the best team . So if somebody goes down, somebody else has to pick it up.
I didn't have any idea. I didn't sit down and read the whole rulebook before I came here.
He always messes with the lineup. The thing is, it doesn't matter if you hit 1, 2, 3 or ninth, you still have to have good at-bats.
Before the season, everyone was anointing this the best offense ever. Let us play first. Names don't win games. You have to go out and perform.
Their record doesn't show it, but they've really got some guys who are starting to play well. The experience is going to help them. They've been playing together for a while, and they've got a lot of confidence, especially against us.
You feel bad because Moose did an outstanding job and we wasted his performance.
When he's healthy, he's as good as any pitcher in baseball.
I wish I trusted people more. But when I meet someone, the first thing is, 'What does this person want?' And I put up a defense mechanism. But I've always been that way.
I get asked enough questions, I try not to ask too many questions.
