clubhouse goose matter prepare today watching
Today I was in the clubhouse and we were watching the highlights. You do get goose bumps. But in the meanwhile, you've got to be careful. No matter what you do today, just prepare yourself for tomorrow. Don't get too cocky.
best chances clutch left people
We left a lot of people on base. We didn't do what we do best - clutch hitting. We had chances in every inning to score.
carried nice pitching score staff team
The pitching staff has carried this team the whole year, but it's nice when you score a lot of runs.
count four gave guys nice walk
When he gave me that answer, it was just walk away and let him pitch. I think it's nice when you have four guys you can count on.
cocky last rub year
When you're world champions, you (can) be cocky or try to rub it in their face. It's nice. You have the ring, you have the trophy. I always said last year, 'We're not that good.' This year it's the same way.
best doubt games mirror nine pitching runs score staff
When you score nine runs, these are games you have to win, no doubt about it. When your best thing is the pitching staff and you score nine runs for the pitching staff we've had all year, no way we should have lost. We have to look in the mirror and pitch better.
knows ready
We have to get him ready so he knows how to prepare.
alex fine wants whatever
What I did to Alex was wrong. He can do whatever he wants. If he wants to play for Japan, fine for him.
baseball player league
He (Buck Showaleter) never even smelled a jock in the big leagues. Mr. Baseball never even got a hit in Triple-A. I was a better player than him, I have more money than him and I'm better looking than him.
support miami moments
In life there are worse things (then being fired by the Miami Marlins) and I have experienced them. I have lived through bad moments and I will get through this with support.
moving games differences
The only difference between me and the fans is I can't eat or drink during the game and you guys can't make moves. Besides that, we are pretty much the same people.
baseball kissing looks
I look back now and realize you have to learn the system. Not kiss ass, but you have to learn the system.
funny sports years
I love Fidel Castro, I respect Fidel Castro, you know why? A lot of people have wanted to kill Fidel Castro for the last 60 years, but that motherf****r is still here.
baseball greater matter next return step team year
The expectations for next year are greater but we need to take things step by step. It's a matter of 25 or 30 baseball players. We already know what we must do. Hopefully, the team will return to form.
