attitude develop good start win
We need to get off to a good start and develop an attitude that we are going to win so we don't have that 'here-we-go-again' attitude.
earlier home
You can get back in there, get to hitting, get to go home earlier and all that stuff,
happens
When it happens to you, it's not that scary. I was all drugged up, so I didn't really know what was going on.
fun great guys term
You always want to have the guys you're going to go with long term out there and see how it goes. It was fun to see Hawpe out there, and it was great to see Barmie out there.
ball definitely everybody experience gets good mean talent time win
Time will tell but we definitely have the talent, but that doesn't mean nothing. We have to go out and win ball games. There are a lot of good players. The more experience everybody gets the better we are going to be.
chances couple help hits stayed
We stayed in it, but they did little things to win. We didn't do that. They had some big hits and, of course, I had a couple chances to help us out and didn't do it. It's frustrating.
goal people trying
I want people to expect more from me because I expect more. If you don't set goals high, you're not trying.
football baseball school
I really enjoyed high-school football, but I didn't really enjoy college football. I liked to play the games, but I didn't like the practice. In baseball, I enjoy the practice almost as much as the games.
hate winning done
I hate the ballplayer who says, 'I did everything I could have possibly done.' Because if you didn't win it all, you obviously didn't do everything you could have done.
too-much negative looks
I'm very tough on myself. I definitely look at the negative too much.
winning games uniforms
The reason we are at the ballpark is to win that day's game, and we don't need to be concerned with anything else during the time we are in uniform. It makes things a lot simpler, a lot easier.
running home practice
I rarely hit home runs in batting practice, and usually when I do feel that good, I'll have a bad game.
talking want done
We can talk about it all we want. But there comes a time when you just have to get it done and quit talking about it. There's been a lot of talk here and not enough doing.
used steroid
I have never used steroids. Never.
