guy
That guy is nasty. How old is he?
appreciate bring coaches fact feeling goes gold great hand job league managers pitching tough
So much of me feeling that I did my job goes hand in hand with how the pitching does. We had some tough times this year. In that regard, no, I didn't feel I did (deserve the Gold Glove). I do appreciate the fact the managers and the coaches in the league appreciate what I do bring to the table. It's a great honor.
fun guy seen time
That guy is nasty. That was the first time I've seen him. He's no joke. He's going to have some fun in this league.
beautiful game knew needed realized time work
That was beautiful to see the first time out. I think that's just something he did on his own, something in his game he knew he realized he needed to work on.
focusing guys insult nice team thinking winning
It will be nice when he returns. Any team would like him in the lineup. But we've been focusing on winning games, and other guys are playing. It would be an insult to them to be thinking of him.
anyone ask came exactly
He came in and did exactly what anyone would ask for.
boo cheer pitchers react seems walk
Every place seems to react to him the same way. They boo him. They cheer him. They boo the pitchers who walk him. I don't think it'll be any different than any other city.
bored boring drab giving start
They're probably going to get bored with me because I'm going to start giving them pretty much plain, drab answers, just premeditated boring stuff.
easy doing-right
Nothing worth doing right is easy.
who-i-am giving excellence
I don't want to cower at somebody's interpretation of what I'm about. I'm supposed to be doing it and I'm going to throw this word out there-with excellence. There's no reason for me to give anything less that all I've got in everything I do. That's scriptural. For me, that's the foundation of who I am.
perseverance games feel-good
I didn't feel good today- little things here and there- but that's the nature of this game. You just keep pushing, being mentally and physically ready. Some days are better than others, but even if you don't feel so good, you get yourself going.
depth
To have that depth is not something a lot of organizations have.
fix needed screwed
Those are the little things I need to do, ... It was the right play. I had screwed it up twice, so I needed to fix it.
came class demands fan jack love understood
We would love it when Jack came to the clubhouse. He understood the demands of the sport. It wasn't just like he was a fan of his son. He was a fan of all of us. He was a class, class man, and J.T. is the same way.
