If the guy stays healthy, we're going to win. I'll put my money on that. If he stays healthy and hits, then we're going to win.
He was throwing gas. He was throwing 96, 97 miles an hour.
This year I feel like I'm better at the plate. Every year I make adjustments.
Everybody knows if Shannon stays healthy, he's going to set the table. He's the igniter, and we need him in the lineup.
Everybody goes through that at some point. I'm not an April guy, I usually start off slow. I've gone 0-for-23 before, and ended up hitting .290, so he'll be fine.
Um, it's hard to say, we were playing Kansas City.
Seven or eight home runs. He's got like 12 at-bats with eight shots.
I still don't understand why we couldn't pick him up. But we missed that opportunity. We have Tony, and we're going to have to deal with that. Pitchers still know the name. He's a threat. If you make a mistake, he will knock you out.
I smell blood. I'm like a pit bull. Once I taste blood I'm on you ... and I'm about to taste blood.
I've been with Brad forever, I've known him 13 years, and it's tough to see him go through this. He's such a great guy and it might possibly be his last year. To see him go through this, this early, we know he can still make a good comeback. And that's what we're banking on.
I've patterned my game after him. He's like a big brother to me.
A lot of kids are broken, and it's hard for them to believe in anything. But you have to have an imaginative mind and tell yourself, 'Hey, I can do whatever I want to.'
When you do what you're supposed to do and don't complain much, I think the fans, media, players and front office appreciate and respect that.
I'm like the Shaolin monk, the counselor in the clubhouse.
