Maybe this is a wake-up call for us, too, to say 'Hey, we're shaking things up,' and, hopefully, it can help motivate us.

It's definitely not just me carrying the team, ... As a middle-of-the-order hitter my job is to drive in runs and score runs.
excited forward good heard looking manager offense pirates run spring
No offense to Lloyd (former Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon) and his staff, but I'm looking forward to going to spring training. And there's going to be a different look, a different feel, a different way things are run and I've heard nothing but good things. So I'm just excited about the way we're going to go about things.

call fall guy maybe played positive questions seems
It's unfortunate to see one guy take the fall for 25. It really is. There seems to have been not as many questions about us and the way we've played than there were about him. If we can take a positive from it, that's going to change. This is the wake-up call maybe we need.

anyone dealt forget game mind totally year
It's not as distracting as I thought it would be, ... It's in the back of your mind. For anyone to totally forget about that is not human. At the same time, I've dealt with a lot of distractions all year with the All-Star game and the 'sophomore slump.'
actual days early few jump stuff week workouts
I wanted to get a little jump on things. It's not like I am here a week early or anything, but it's a few days to get the soreness and all of that stuff out before the actual workouts start.
forward giving looking nice
It would be a nice little accomplishment. I'm looking forward to the opportunity, but it's not one of those things you can force. It's not like they are just giving it to you.
feeling hard hope nice notice realized reciprocal
I realized something like this could happen, so you go out there, play hard and hope someone notices. It's nice to get that reciprocal feeling that they notice what you're doing.
baseball last start thinking
If you're 16-1, the last thing you want is a day off. But when you don't start off well, sometimes having a day off relaxes you. Not thinking about baseball for a day helps.
