I've never even thought about it. Maybe because I don't have any kids. I know it's a big problem, but I just never thought about it. I've never had any reason to bring awareness (about it) to myself. What Joe is doing is groundbreaking. I think it's a lot harder to be the first person to talk about it. Maybe more people will start because of him. |
I've never had a chance to play for my country before. In that sense, I'm excited about it, curious to see what the atmosphere is going to be like. From what I understand, the fans are pretty excited about it. We'll see when we get out there. |
I've never seen that before. Sometimes they say things happen in threes, hopefully that's the end of it. |
I've only played a couple of weeks. It's no different than any other season. It might be different because it's the beginning of the season, but everybody goes through stretches where they swing the bat well for a couple of weeks. |
If I had to guess, I would say yes. And that has nothing to do with anything that he's told me. I have not even asked him. I haven't even said, 'Rocket, are you playing? Thinking about playing?' I haven't even brought the question up. |
If we beat them, it still doesn't make up for what happened last year. They've got great defense and a bullpen that's one of the best. They do all the little things. I think they're a pest for everybody. Yeah, we've had some rough elimination games there. You remember them, but you don't really think about them while you're playing. We've been eliminated in other places. |
If you ask me, I don't think he's done pitching, but that has nothing to do with what he's said to me. It has nothing to do with any conversation we've had. |
If you ask me, I don't think he's done pitching. I don't have to sell Rocket on playing in New York. He knows what's it like. |
If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose. |
If you're going to win games, you're going to have to come up with the big hits. That's the bottom line. |
If you're going to win, ... you have to have the best team . So if somebody goes down, somebody else has to pick it up. |
In the end, it was fun. I would recommend it to anyone that has the opportunity next time it comes around. It was a fun experience, right up until tonight. |
It all starts with pitching. This offense got so much publicity early on, but you're going to win if you pitch. We've got a lot of guys who know how to pitch. |
It doesn't make a difference who we play. It won't be a problem for people to get up for the games. We have 20 games left. Everyone knows what's at stake. |
It doesn't matter, ... Every situation is a new situation. |
