good pitchers seen
We've seen some pretty good pitchers this year. And this is a young team. Many of them haven't seen pitchers like this.
face hard minutes rather smile takes walk
I'd rather make that walk when we won, ... It's kind of hard 2 minutes after the game's over and we lose. It takes a little while to take (a loss) off. It's kind of hard to walk around there with a smile on your face when you just lost, but you got to do it for the fans.
negative watch
I watch the film, so I know what I've done off a guy. I don't look at it as a positive, just like I don't look at it as a negative if I haven't done well off a guy.
angles face
I wouldn't want to want to face him as a right-handed hitter. He comes at you at too many angles and at too many speeds.
compete knowing
They are not kids, and they are not inexperienced anymore. They have to go into the off-season knowing they can compete here.
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.
glad learned
Hopefully, we all learned something here. I'm glad he didn't take me out.
team upset
I was upset with myself. But when you let your team down, you want to help.
home needed played premium team threw
Still, he threw out 50 home runs, ... and he played his best, at a premium position, when his team needed him most.
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.
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.
too-much negative looks
I'm very tough on myself. I definitely look at the negative too much.
used steroid
I have never used steroids. Never.
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.
