He may have one more of these backup-type things of coming into a game after a starter. Then he should be in line to start a game.
I don't like the overall results. To say the effort is not there would be a little harsh, but we're not doing the things that we are capable of doing to get the results we need. We are not making plays, we are making errors, we are not making pitches like we should and we are not hitting in situations.
He's ready for opening day. Yep. No doubt about it.
Just knowing him for a brief period of time, I feel like he's going to go out there and give it 110% and he's going to put the effort in to get better on a daily basis. He's not going to go out there and just put time in.
It made it a more happy atmosphere in the dugout.
He's not even close to being what he's capable of being when he's healthy, ... He needs a day off. He's hurting.
He's established himself to the point that you expect something good when he goes out there.
Some guys, they get down on themselves and wonder 'Why? But other guys, it challenges them: 'Well, I'm not going to let someone come in and take my job. I'll show them that I'm a better player.' I think that's the way he should react and that's the way he will react, because really the job is there for him to lose.
It was good to see him have a good offensive day and a good defensive day. That has to really make him feel good and get him up on his toes a little bit.
He will get five starts instead of six. It's just to make sure, give him plenty of time. He is still on schedule to start opening day.
I guess they decided to give me a birthday present.
I know he carries a lot of respect around the league from other players. The way he goes about his work on the field, I think that sets the tone for the other guys. He does things the correct way.
The big difference here is when you come out here on the field, you see people in the stands and they're usually rooting for you and they're gonna root for you,
Felix Rodriguez is gone for three games, that's automatic. I'm gone for one, that's automatic.
