awesome batting fun gonna incredible looked onto practice
It's gonna be awesome to see him out there. He's just looked incredible in batting practice, so it's gonna be fun to see him take that out onto the field.
ball dictate gives great hit huge left nice pitch players sign swinging
That's a huge sign for me, when I hit the ball out to left field. That gives me a lot of confidence. You just let the pitch dictate what you do. That's something you never see the great players do, over-swing -- I do that, I over-swing. Tonight, I didn't feel like I was swinging hard, just nice and easy.
moving tree rubber
Everyone knows an ant, can't, move a rubber tree plant.
spring oakland afternoon
It's been like that all spring. It's just that balls decided to hang up there. It's hard to catch it when you can't see it. But that's how it's going to be in Oakland in the afternoon anyway.
swings trying looks
I'm being a lot more consistent, trying to make every swing look the same. I'm doing what the situation calls for and trying not to do too much.
morning party thinking
I woke up this morning and I said to my self, 'Self, I think we need to party today'.
rest teams
You can't really look at what other teams are doing. The rest of the season's in our hands.
baseball card
All you have to do is look at the back of his baseball card and know he'll be all right.
clubhouse emotions guys pay people prove running starting
I think it's going to be awesome. I don't think there's any other way to put it. Emotions will be running high. All the guys in this clubhouse know what we have, and other people are starting to pay attention, so we'll just have to go out and prove it.
bases guy horrible last man mound
Last year, I was horrible with the bases loaded. I was like, 'Oh, man, oh, man,' I'd get jittery. Now, I'm not the guy who's in trouble, it's the guy on the mound who's in trouble.
baseball love
If you didn't love that game, you don't love baseball,
break hit hurts trying
It's been awhile, ... It was great. ... I wasn't trying to think much today. Just see it and hit it. Sometimes you break it down too much and it hurts you. I think that's what I've been doing.
brings close fans good great interact last looks problems seats
It's so fan-friendly. It looks nice, it's a great idea. From last year, I know there were a lot of problems in the upper deck, and I don't know how good those seats could even be. This brings the fans close to the field, and we'll be able to interact more with them.
game imagined
That was really neat, ... I never imagined that it would end up that way when the game started.
