I haven't really run on it very much. I have to get my legs back under me. When you go to swinging the bat, that's a different deal because you turn (on the knee). There's some things I want to make sure I'm solid doing in my own mind before I got out there in a game situation. |
I knew I hit it good, but I wasn't thinking home run. The whole time I was wondering if it was going to be fair or foul. I kind of watched and at the last minute it straightened out and died in the corner. The guy reached his glove out and caught it, and I knew they were going to call it at least a double. |
I love that guy. He's like my big brother in the game. People have trouble understanding what he means to people in this locker room. His impact is huge. |
I think Bagwell made that call. |
I think he didn't have great command on what he's trying to do out there. He's been very tough against us, so it was good to jump on him early. |
I think I'll still retire before you will. |
I think it's a good position to be in because we'd like to get off to a good start, but if we don't, we know we can battle back from it. |
I think that's just one of those weird things in the game of baseball. At some point, you've gotta think [the Phillies] are due. |
I think we had a chance to win all three games. We just didn't do it. You could point to those situations, but they had a lot of those situations, too. |
I was just trying to get a base hit. I don't hit very many of those right-handed, so it was pretty nice to get that one. |
I was talking to [Texas third baseman] Hank Blalock , and he's in his first [Derby], and I told him 'The only thing I can tell you is you got to take pitches,' ... A lot of times, you get it into your thinking that 'I can hit anything.' But you have to get a few good pitches to hit. |
I'm hoping to do as little as possible. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of rehab and trying to take it easy, not doing as many outfield drills. |
I'm not sure that's the case. He may have been caught up in the moment. |
I've never played in that ballpark. It's going to be fun. |
If we can get out of here with a split, we'll be in pretty good shape. |
