We need a lift and Barry brings expectations when he comes to the plate. It will energize the crowd and the team.
bad front guy imagine lifted sad seat
We need a lift. We have been lifted by kids. Can you imagine a guy like Barry? I'm going to take a front seat and I'm not even playing. Too bad we are where we are. That's the sad thing about it.

We have no scheduled day off for him tomorrow.
america color hear latin listen regardless skin stuff
What I did wasn't just for Latin players. I did this because I want to live in an America where no one regardless of their skin color has to hear that stuff anymore. For too long, I had to listen to that stuff, and it wasn't right and it isn't right now.
