I'm real proud of the kids. Last year we were beat physically. This year we weren't pushed around. This win goes to last year's seniors as well as this year's. |
I've taken ground balls there during batting practice and Orlando's given me tips like a good veteran. ... I'll work hard at it and it'll feel like home, |
If you're not adjusting one way you're adjusting another, ... but it's good to learn that now because obviously I want to be here for a lot more years. |
It was a great game for our low-post players. They were just dynamite. |
It was funny. They went all out on this thing. We walked in and it was typical, just like a wedding would be. They did it right, they sure did. We had to cut the cake. They did a good job. |
It's a big opportunity we have together. |
It's a big opportunity we have together. He was drafted first, and I was drafted the year after. We talk about last year, and we're learning as we go. Every day, we're out here picking each other's brain and learning about certain types of feeds that I like and ones he likes. At the same time, we're good friends. |
It's fun to be here, |
It's fun to make it interesting for the Red Sox-Yankees pennant race. We're a big team this week. |
It's going to be easy to work hard with him because he keeps it fun but he also knows your game so much. Honestly, it's a pleasure getting out there with him because I learn so much when I'm spending time with him. |
It's just about finding the right arm slot and finding the right position with your feet. |
It's pretty comfortable, actually. I'll give it a try. |
It's so much easier having Butter (Butterfield) as an infield coach. Just watching Orlando play, you can't help but learn a lot. I adjusted well to third this year, and working hard really helps everything along. If I do that (with second base), it will feel like home. |
It's the first time we've had four players in double figures all year. As the year is going on, we're really spreading around the scoring a lot more than we did last year ? we're not so one-dimensional. Brad is still dominating, but if he's in foul trouble we can still pull games out. |
Most people don't know what this city has to offer, |
