Cody, he's the type of guy, no matter what, he's going to work his rear end off. He wanted to get off to a good start and might have been trying a little too hard. |
He's Mike McCoy, his own player. He's trying to be himself. |
I don't care if you've been drafted No. 1 or signed as a free agent. You're going to get out of the game what you put into it. His commitment level is very high. I can tell he's on a mission. |
One pitch was low, and it would have been a 3-1 count. Instead, it was a strike. This guy is throwing 98 mph and changing speeds on him. And he battled and smoked that ball off the right-field wall. |
We came out earlier today and they all just kept looking around and I was doing the same thing. We have a lot of players knocking on the door to play in the big leagues and now they are getting a chance to see what that feels like. |
We probably could play him at first (base); he just wouldn't be a very big target to hit. |
You look at him after the game and he's always dirty. That's the kind of a guy a manager would like to have on his club. |
