flow last three
I'm more in the flow of the game. Last year, it was like pinch-hitting three times.
batting guess practice
I guess my job, ... is to come out and do well in batting practice.
chances fourth honest left year
I'll be honest with you. If I'd have been in the fourth year of my contract, if I'd have had one year left on my deal, I probably would have done it. You don't get that many chances to win.
fault handling last trade
I feel comfortable here. Last year, I wasn't at all. It was my fault for not handling the trade well.
ball best capable driving gets help kevin obviously swings
He's obviously capable of driving the ball out of the ballpark. Things sometimes come in bunches. You'd like to see them come consistently, but Kevin has one of the best right-handed swings around. He can help us when he gets hot.
bad beautiful fair good guys hit hitting numbers park
It's a good park to hit in, a very fair park, ... I still don't have anything bad to say about Petco. It's a beautiful place. But the numbers don't lie. Guys used to hitting 30-35 homers are hitting 15-20. Do the math.
base create everybody guys hitting knows night seems talked team
It seems like each night we've talked about it. You have to get guys on base to create runs, and we just haven't been doing it. We're a better hitting team than this. I think everybody knows that.
fault guy pulled wanting
At least I wasn't pulled out of the lineup like I was in the doubleheader. How can you fault a guy for wanting to play? We don't make out the lineup.
bigger figure headache trying
I'm done trying to figure those things out, ... The more I try to figure them out, the bigger headache I get.
excited goodbye great honestly opportunity packing people ready start stuff teammates time
I'm going to go in and say goodbye to my teammates and start packing and get my stuff ready to go to Toronto. I'm excited. I honestly am. It's an opportunity to play, it's a great organization, there's some great people there that I do know from a long time ago. I'm just excited to get over there.
anybody boo diego sailing san smooth start team winning
Hopefully, this team will start winning and they don't have anybody else to boo and it'll be smooth sailing in San Diego for a while.
No, ... I just don't think I could do that.
coming eddie guy swinging throwing
Eddie is a guy who usually comes right after you throwing strikes. So I was swinging coming out of the gate. He just missed.
