I've only played a couple of weeks. It's no different than any other season. It might be different because it's the beginning of the season, but everybody goes through stretches where they swing the bat well for a couple of weeks.
It goes without saying how special a player he is, what he represents in the game. So it was an honor for me that he wanted to take a picture. He wanted to take a picture with me? It was definitely a good feeling.
He has been big. Today was as wild as he has been, and he still found a way. He gives us an opportunity to win every time he goes out on the mound.
They're a completely different team (than Tampa Bay).
He's that way in the dugout during games,
(The fans) were with him until he got picked off second.
They do all the little things. I think they're a pest for most teams.
You can't take any more time. Adams gets down the line pretty good. He hit it slow; a high chopper. There was no time to flip to Robbie.
I've been lying to you guys for a long time, saying I wasn't nervous and there's no pressure. There was a lot of pressure to do it here.
I've been with Mo for 14 years. It's mind-boggling when you look at how consistent he's been all these years. I don't think anything he does amazes me anymore.
The feeling is that it's over. It doesn't always happen, but that's the feeling you have. Mo has been automatic for a while.
It's something that happened two or three months ago, ... It really wasn't a big deal, so I don't know why it's a big issue today.
It's always weird when you're facing guys that you played with.
He's as tough as any pitcher in baseball. We tried to score early and Robby had the big hit.
