Really, the hard work that I get accolades for, he's the guy behind the scenes that has much more on his shoulders than going out and pitching a ballgame. This is something that we'll share together.
It's an option that you knew was lurking out there.
He was happy I wasn't able to get it in Atlanta or Florida. I might actually have him sign it.
The key to a five-game set (is) to get out of the gates early,
He asked me for some identification and I couldn't understand why he would be doing that.
It's been seven long years. Take a look around I don't think anybody cares about our record. Regardless of what our record was, these guys played like it was playoff baseball. So hopefully we're gaining momentum.
It might be a little more subdued, but we'd still be winning a title. Everyone can say what they want about how bad it looks. It would be like persevering to get a college degree. Whether it takes four years or six years, you've still accomplished something.
It just puts a little added pressure. You want to find out if you've still got it and get out there and help the club. But they come in spurts, so you've got to be ready.
It was a great honor to be able to do that.
Confidence is everything. If you start second guessing yourself, you're bound to run into more bad outings
It's nice to see some youth running around and not see achy backs and necks and arms, ... It's nice to see some young guys feeling spry.
To get Adam back to where he was before he went down, that's a big lift for this ballclub. It's also nice to see some youth running around without aching backs and necks and arms, feeling spry.
The pitch was up a little bit. Make a better pitch with the changeup down, it's going to be hard to drive it that far. Randy had a great night. It seemed to keep going and keep going and keep going. One of those things. He got good wood on it.
When your horse is out there and pitches his butt off, my job is to nail it down, ... We would've liked to have fed off Jake's energy. The kid threw the heck out of the ball.
