burden four game honor pitch playing starting teams three time vacation weeks year
I started scoreboard-watching three or four weeks ago; that's when you know things are starting to get interesting. It's not a burden to be playing for the playoffs. This is the time of the year when every game counts, every pitch counts. It's an honor to be able to play for something when other teams are making vacation plans.
last remember time
I can't even remember the last time we got swept.
batting gloves helmet milton sat time
I didn't even see Frank's swing. By the time I put down my helmet and my batting gloves and sat down, Milton went deep.
along bad coming doubt everybody good jerks minded obviously open opposite since situations time written
He's funny, he's completely opposite of everything that's been written about him. Obviously there have been some unfortunate situations with him, but coming into it I think everybody was open minded and there was no doubt in anybody's mind that he was going to have a good time here and he was going to get along with the guys. Since I've been here, there haven't been any jerks or bad personalities.
doubt games left mind plenty ready rhythm time took
There's no doubt in my mind he'll be ready to go. It took me some time to get back into the rhythm of things and I know there's plenty of games left for him to get going.
easy everybody forget time
It's easy to let this one go. We've been through a lot. It's time to forget about everybody else and look forward.
came glad held home lead milton sat time
It came and went really quick. I'm just glad we held on to the lead or else (the home runs) would have been for naught..... I didn't even see Frank's swing. And by the time I sat down, Milton went deep.
early score shut teams
A lot of teams do score early and kind of shut it down,
balls barrel button felt focus game guess hit kinda main panic switch
I kinda hit the panic button a little. My main focus was just put the barrel on the ball. I guess during the game a switch went on. But I was shagging balls and felt delusional. I didn't know where I was at.
blame field finger gonna handled hit improve ourselves panic pointing putting
He didn't hit the panic button. He wasn't putting the blame on anybody, wasn't pointing the finger at anyone. He told us we're gonna still come to the field and improve ourselves every day. He handled it the way a professional should handle it.
came glad held onto
It came and went real quickly. I'm just glad we held onto the lead.
frank hitting
Jermaine said when Frank was in there, he was hitting everything out of the park. Everything is still there, the stroke, the vision. We just have to keep him healthy.
excited great tournament watching
The tournament is a great idea. Even if I don't end up playing, I'm excited about watching it on TV.
arm caught couple guess hard kennedy pitchers seen stuck wrong
It didn't look like Kendall stuck his arm out there. It was kind of weird. I guess he just caught Kendall on the wrong moment. That's not hard to do. I think (Lackey) said something to him in Oakland before. I know he's done it before. I've seen a couple pitchers do it. I think that's why him and (Joe) Kennedy got in a fight. Same thing.
