africa easy lightly played south team
It's easy to take a team like South Africa lightly because we didn't know anything about them. But we didn't and we played well today.
changes gave huge
It gave us a huge lift. I mean, it changes the game.
arm flashes fun good great movement pitcher second showing throws works
He showed flashes of it early. Second year, like everybody, is an adjustment-type of year. This year, he is showing what kind of pitcher he is. He is just dominant. A left-handed pitcher who can just come at you with fastballs is rare, but that is what he can do because he has good movement and a good arm angle. He throws strikes. He's a good pitcher. He's great for the game. He's a good person, having fun out there. He works hard.
feeling looked needs pitch sign till understand
He's going to pitch till he's 50. I don't understand it. He needs to sign with someone quick. The way he looked today, I've got a feeling he's going to sign with somebody.
five innings morning per three work
I don't see why not. At minimum, you're going to play four, five innings per game, so you're going to get your two or three at-bats. It's pretty much the same thing you do here. Work out in the morning and get your at-bats during the game.
gets guy hit home roger
At least one guy gets to go home and say he got a hit off Roger Clemens.
bring center defense gets good help
I think he's the best, period, in center field. Defense gets overlooked. But some days, even if you aren't going good offensively, you can bring good defense and help your team.
burden needs talked
As of right now, I haven't talked about it. If it comes up, yeah, I think it needs to be done before the season. I don't really want that burden of thought. I want to concentrate on the game.
felt
I didn't know how I would feel at the plate, but I felt pretty comfortable.
change good hitting
Hitting is always an adjustment, so I don't really change my approach. Just try to hit good pitches.
contract envision
I don't think you ever envision a contract like this.
leaving looked pitches settled
It looked like he was going to have a 1-2-3 inning. That was impressive. The first inning, he was leaving a lot of pitches up. He settled down after that.
