sticks
The thing that sticks out to me about him, he's our kind of player. He's a grinder.
kid knew miss second time
This kid is really bright. He's very observant, doesn't miss anything. The second time around the league, he already knew most of the pitchers.
close crazy games key lost played surprises won
We have played so many close games this year. We lost some on crazy things and won some on crazy things. I think the key to it is we've been in so many, that nothing surprises us anymore.
became changed ways
In a lot of ways they were opposites. But they became very close. I don't think they ever really changed at all.
jobs trying
I like that they're trying to get in new jobs. We need that.
couple gotten hit knows looking love
He's a professional. I love his thought process. He's already told me a couple of times before going up there what he was looking for. He's gotten it and hit it. He knows what he's doing in every sense.
anybody good seen spring streak training
Granted, it's (mostly in) spring training ... but he's had about as good a 10-day streak as I've ever seen anybody have.
both cant combining eight fight imagine scratch starting teams
Nothing will come easily. Both teams will have to scratch and claw and fight for every run. I cant imagine two teams combining for eight better starting pitchers.
feeling himself locked ready season start week
About a week ago he got to feeling like himself again. He's locked in. He's ready to start the season right now.
reminded
It wasn't so much what we told him. We just reminded him of some things that he had done in the past.
brand indiana office opponent time took trade year
It was brand new the year my opponent first took office in the Indiana Statehouse. I think it is time to trade it in.
OK, I won't own a restaurant, but I'll go to everyone else's.
ate brought came cigars drank glass kids smoked stayed supposed until waiting watch wife wine
They came over for one glass of wine and stayed until midnight. They drank all my wine, smoked all my cigars and ate all my food. We were all supposed to go out to eat, but I'm still waiting to go. They brought their kids over and made my wife watch them.
chance good impressive kid might saw spring training year
The first year here, he might have had as impressive of a spring training as a 19-year-old kid can have. It was unbelievable. He's back to what we saw two years ago and he's got a chance to be a really good big-league player.
