Lord willing, I'll be ready by opening day. It is the weight-bearing bone in the bottom part of your leg.
And I take a lot of the blame for our record this year. And to come out and help this team win tonight is really a great feeling.
And I take a lot of the blame for our record this year. And to come out and help this team win tonight is really a great feeling.
There have been times this year, through health or just not performing well, I haven't helped this team win ballgames,
We are embarrassed. We're hurting in here, and we should be.
We came close tonight, but in baseball that's not good enough. Tough loss.
We wanted to pull this one out for Skipper, with the pain he's going through.
We've really been grinding it out, and now we are starting to click. It takes the pressure off the pitchers.
To be named one of the finalists for the Marvin Miller Award is an honor for me,
We still only have 39 wins, but every person on the roster was into the game from the first pitch on. We were coming off the bench giving high-fives. We had a good shot in the arm of life. The win was a big part of that.
We need to make changes this winter as players and as an organization and turn things around because this is unacceptable. When you play bad baseball, no matter what your record is, it's not real satisfying.
