I think it's always an issue. Billy definitely is one of those guys who plays hurt consistently and plays well.
david figure trying
It was awesome. Still trying to figure out how David Ortiz does it. We all would like to have a smidgen of what he's got going for him.
amazing bow delay easy matt performance rain rewarded sit start
It was an amazing performance because it's not easy to sit through a long rain delay and have the same intensity. It's not easy to start and stop, and that's what Matt did successfully. When you start and stop, it's easy to bow out of the situation, but he didn't do it. And he was rewarded for it.
believe choose clubhouse guys harmony respectful
Everyone is very respectful of one another and what they choose to believe in. The guys in this clubhouse live in harmony when it comes to that kind of stuff.
allow chance hard help hits reality sink time
I just haven't really had a chance to allow it to sink in, ... There's going to come a time when reality hits me. It's going to be a while before I can help my teammates. That's going to be hard for me.
reality teammate helping
I just haven't really had a chance to allow to sink in. I'm sure there is going to come a time when reality is going to hit me and I'm going to know that it's going to be a while before I help my teammates, and that's going to be hard for me.
We have a mission, ... we have a goal. And it's not complete.
believe bit call came career feedback felt further good known nfl people relatively soon walt
I really didn't think it was it, especially because immediately I started getting feedback from people who had known people who had had the injury. I got a call from (Cleveland first baseman) Eduardo Perez relatively soon after the injury, and he said he came back and felt as good as new. I know there are some NFL quarterbacks, too. (Dan) Marino did it and came back as good, or better. I believe Walt Weiss had his career ended, but I'm 30. I think Walt was a little bit further along.
best cut favorite perspective pitch plate ran strike three threw
That's probably the best perspective in the park. My favorite one was the strike three pitch he threw Giambi that kind of went straight, cut in and then ran back on the plate for a strike.
good
It's good to have a little cushion. But it's not going to be easy.
