good guys runs score win
This was a good win for us. To come out and score some runs and get a lead, we haven't done that very often. It was fun. The guys got to run the bases.
cleveland hope huge win
That win was huge for this ballclub. We go to Cleveland and we still have hope.
good guys hating heals people winning
You know we have a good clubhouse. We just had some people who were frustrated. It wasn't about guys hating each other. You know, winning really heals things.
pride whatever win
We're going to do whatever we can to try to win games. So pride can go out the window.
bad early everybody head hit improve keeps rough saying spring terrible winter
Everybody keeps saying it was a terrible year, but those weren't too bad of numbers. But he did struggle. He got hit in the head early and had a rough spring because of his winter with so many illnesses. Overall, if you look at it, he's got a lot of things that he can improve upon offensively.
ball catching chance clubs hardest might pitching talked winning work
We just talked about being a winning team, and what we're all about here. Pitching and catching the ball is what we do best. It's what we work hardest at. We have a chance to win. We can say that where a lot of other clubs can't. Well, they might say it. But they can't say it like we can.
brad send time whatever win
Most of the time you send Brad back out there, but this isn't most of the time. We're going to try to do whatever we have to do to win games.

We needed a win ? desperately. He's pretty intense right now. No one wants to win more than Johan. That's what he cares most about ? winning.
awards bit good happy last matter tells winning
No matter how good he did, he wasn't very happy at the end of last year. It wasn't about the awards or anything else. It was about us not winning - and not getting back to the playoffs. That tells you a little bit about his makeup.
clubhouse guys talked winter
This winter we talked about getting the clubhouse back. The guys we got are clubhouse people.
baseball fun goes heart intense wants win
He's pretty intense right now. No one wants to win any more than Johan. He's all about winning. That's why it's fun to have him on your baseball team. When he goes out there, you can see it in his heart that he wants to win for this baseball team.
best mean pitcher telling win
If he doesn't win the Cy Young, it doesn't mean he's not the best pitcher in this league. I'm telling you right now -- he's the best pitcher in the American League, no doubt.
bottom line matter start winning
It wasn't pretty, but the bottom line is you've got to start winning games. It doesn't matter how you do it.
bore expect full guys hard loss stop team trying win
It's another disappointing loss for us. The guys are battling. We've got to win games, and we're going to try as hard as we can. I expect this team to go out full bore and win. We'll never stop trying to do that.
