watch watching
I'm just going to watch the game. I'll be watching as a fan.
gets guy
I'm just getting hits, ... When a guy gets on base, I'm a little more aggressive.
bad base baseball expect shows speed three
I haven't been getting on base as much as I'd like to be. This shows that speed can play a part. You don't expect three bad pickoff throws. You see something new in baseball every day.
chicago heat love root sports talk
I'm torn. I can't really talk too much out here because I'm in Chicago and they love their sports so I have to root for the Heat silently.
explain fall looked seen time tough wheels
I haven't seen anything like it. I can't even explain it. It looked like we had everything in hand. To see the wheels fall off, it's a tough one to swallow, especially at this time of year.
definition gets tremendous
He's the definition of pitching. He's not overpowering, he doesn't have this tremendous stuff. He gets it done every day.
hopefully win
Hopefully it'll be a different story here this year. It's important to win here.
bases couple raw speed steal
He probably could get away with it for a couple of years, just being that fast. He is still young. The more he plays, the better he will get at it. He could probably just go out there with his raw speed right now and steal 30, 40 bases without even trying.
superstar
If he was 30 years old, I would still be impressed. He will be a superstar in the league.
bring consistent everybody five game kids knows matter sees superstar tools
If he was 30 years old, I would still be impressed. He's just one of those kids who has that instinct. Everybody sees it and knows he is going to be special. It's just a matter of him being consistent and being able to bring those five tools to the game every night. And he can. He will be a superstar in the league.
battle behind catching guy hits played side trying waiting
I told him I was going to get him. I said, 'You think I was catching you just for your benefit? I was waiting for this day, too.' It's going to be weird, a guy you went to battle with and played behind so much, being on the other side trying to get hits off him.
balls couple hit home hopefully runs time tough
It's tough to hit home runs all the time or balls in the gap, so hopefully we can manufacture a couple runs.
african baseball certainly definitely feeling good numbers playing programs seeing solve special
It's certainly not a good feeling seeing our numbers going down the way they are. I definitely want to see more African Americans playing in baseball again. Hopefully, we can come up with more special programs to solve this problem.
amazing dad definition game son teach throwing wants watch
It's just amazing what he does. He's not throwing 94, 93 (mph). He's pitching. It's the definition of a pitcher. If a son comes to a game with his dad and his dad wants to teach him about pitching, watch Greg Maddux, because that's an art.
