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.
everybody feeds gets guy hitting hot swinging winning worked
It all kind of worked together. That's just the way hitting is. Everybody feeds off each other. One guy gets hot and everybody gets hot. We all started swinging better and we started winning games.
afraid gone guys helps lost
It helps out a lot, ... If they'd gone out and stunk, it would have been very disappointing. Obviously, we would have lost a lot more games. But these guys are not afraid of anything.
guy noise example
I'm not a guy who is going to make a lot of noise. I hope to lead by example.
good guys term
It's good to see, ... You always want to see the guys you're going to go with long term in there and see how it goes.
fastest glad guy
I'm glad he didn't take me out. I never want to come out of the game. But I'm not the fastest guy in the world.
ability chance everybody game hard nobody plays teams
I think we've got a chance to be a lot better this year. If everybody just plays to their ability. Nobody really has to go off, nobody has to do anything crazy. There are going to be teams better than us, talent-wise, but we are going to play the game hard and we never give up.
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.
team upset
I was upset with myself. But when you let your team down, you want to help.
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.
heard leaves perspective puts
When we heard about (Barmes), we were thinking, 'That's terrible, what are we going to do,' ... Then the skipper leaves and his daughter's having seizures, and it puts it all back in perspective really quick.
behind head kid showing start stays teaching technique
His technique is flawless. He's short, quick. His head does not move. He stays behind the baseball. If you were teaching a swing, I would start by showing the kid Bonds' swing.
