When you're getting $2,000 a month in the minors, it's hard not to eat Taco Bell every day.
people ifs
You can't listen to what people say about you. If you do, you're never going to get anywhere in life.

I've had to work for everything I have, and I'm not going to stop. The minute I feel I've made it, I'm done.
size prove-them-wrong harder
I've heard about my size all my life. It makes you work that much harder. It's gratifying to prove them wrong.
work-ethic want way
I've seen plenty of ballplayers way better than me, but they didn't have the work ethic. It comes down to how bad you want it.

We used to sit on our hands in the last few weeks and just try not to get hurt. This is good for us.
board crooked gets half held imperative momentum next number quick seemed shift team throw
When a team comes out and gets a little momentum like that, I think it's very imperative to come out and throw a crooked number up on the board the next half inning. It's a quick momentum shift back to our side. Once we got that shift, it just seemed like we held it from there.
almost clubhouse fun game intensity league playing
With these young guys, we have the intensity we need. It's almost like we're 10 years old playing in Little League again, but winning's more important now. It's just a lot of fun in the clubhouse now before the game and after the game.
deal prove
We want to prove that we're going to be someone to deal with in this division.
