ready
I think he's going to be ready to play in this league.
kick
He'd kick the pitcher's (butt). He'd do it. No (fooling) around, bro.
hit
We hit hard. I thought Manny was going to be all right because he's a big man. I'm so skinny.
games league national took
Now that's a National League game. When I was in the American League, the games took 4 hours, 4 1/2 hours. That's a long game. I don't really like it. Over here, you play the game, do what you have to do, and go home.
communication
The most important thing is communication. If we have the communication, I think we could be good.
anybody bad early feeling help spring talk
Anybody can have a bad year. It's too early to talk about how I'm going to do this season. But from the first day of spring training, I have been feeling good. I think I can help this team.
hard plan
The only way you get better is by working hard, and that is what I plan to do.
deal
I never got booed before and I didn't know how to deal with that. I don't have anything to prove.
feels meant
I just want to get a ring. It feels like I was always meant to play here.
feels good won
About time, ... It was a good one, too. It feels good because we won the game, that's most important.
advantage ball hard hit looking lucky patience pitch struggling throwing waiting
I have patience. I'm waiting for my pitch, and I've been lucky they've been throwing the pitch where I've been looking for it and I've hit it. When you have things going you get hits. When you're struggling you hit the ball hard right at somebody. You have to take advantage when you can.
change everybody good quick ready system work
It's quick work. Everybody should change in their system because it's quick work and you're ready to go. It's been very good so far.
bring player prepared slow start work
I work to bring everything together, but sometimes you start slow and sometimes you start quick. Every player is different. I know I'm going to be prepared to start fast.
believe everybody games great hit hitters knows nobody record row teammates today until
I didn't see him, but I know Felipe Alou. Everybody knows the Alou family. I didn't know about the record until today when one of my teammates told me about it. I can't believe nobody hit in 16 games in a row because there have been a lot of great hitters here.
