bunch clubhouse comparable good great guys playing reason row stretch turn won
It's pretty amazing. This stretch is comparable to when we won 20 in a row (in 2002). It's just a great bunch of guys in this clubhouse who really like playing together. There's such good chemistry, and that's probably part of the reason we've been able to turn it around.
dugout everybody gets gotten hits job saying
Everybody in the dugout was saying they shouldn't have done that. We've gotten a lot of big hits from him. When he gets up there we know he'll get the job done.
teams
Sure, we had a lot of injuries. But a lot of teams have injuries. We can't use it as an excuse.
job key last nice sure three wants
He's done a nice job. I'm not sure what he wants to do, that's one of the key things, but the last three years, look at our record.
amazing drop electric good knows run seen sit stuff throwing tough
He has electric stuff. Having electric stuff is one thing, but he knows how to use it. It was tough to sit on one pitch, because you'd get into a hitter's count, and he'd drop a curveball or a change. And he's throwing fastballs 97, 98, 99 with pretty amazing run to it. That's as good a stuff as we've seen all year.
credit played playing realized wrong
He never faulted us once for not playing hard, and that would have been wrong if he did. We always played hard. We were just terrible. That's a credit to him that he realized that and never faulted us.
coming doubts knew
I never had any doubts about coming back. I knew I could come back and play,
excited feels good looks second spring telling
He's been telling us all spring he feels great. That second at-bat, that's what he's all about. You could tell he was excited . . . and he looks good in our uniform.
coming guys last second somebody spring time ton training year
Any time somebody has a first year with a team, you have spring training but the second year coming back you're more comfortable with the guys. We didn't have a ton of turnover. We have some new guys but we pretty much have the same guys as last year.
coming definitely huge injury league major motivated nice serious somebody
I don't think they had huge expectations for me coming into the season, ... That's all right because I had a serious injury and this is a major league team. They have to put somebody out there who's going to perform. I was pretty motivated anyway. I was definitely motivated to come out and have a nice year.
bobby great guys hurt last stepped year
He's very valuable. When I got hurt he stepped in and did a great job. Last year when Bobby got hurt he did a great job. You have to have guys like that on the team.
coming until
With all we've been through this year, there's no way we're going to give up. Until they say we're done, we're going to keep coming out to try to make it interesting.
ball easy fun games gave great hard perfect playing rocket starting
We're starting to know what each other will do. It's fun playing with him. He's a great shortstop. It's hard to see in the day games here. The ball was a rocket at him. He made a great play and gave me a perfect feed. Then it was easy for me.
