for everyone else, but we're talking about Barry. |
He always could hit, but not like this. Once you're in a groove, you ride it out, and he has been incredible. When guys are hot, they usually hit three-something, and he's been around .500. I've been amazed. |
He cooked his feet; his feet were smoking. He caught his tail on fire; his tail was smoking. |
He jumped up quicker than I thought he would and hauled butt back into the fire. He ran right back into the hottest part. |
He's still Mr. Amazing, |
I like being able to go to the mall and the grocery store and have a normal life. I've seen what those guys go through. I witnessed it with Frank. He could barely walk in the mall without getting mauled, and people following him. They can have all that. I just want to make a good living, be able to support my family and stay under the radar. I like my privacy too much. |
I never thought that would happen. He definitely brings a presence to our lineup. |
I told Felipe I don't care where I bat, first, third or fifth. I batted lower in the order last year and I'm cool with it. If I hit ahead of Barry, I'll see more fastballs. |
I told him probably 2 1/2 weeks ago I was impressed. You've got to have tough skin to put up with the scrutiny and stuff he has to go through. I would have been ready to fight somebody. Trying to drag his name through the mud is unfair to a guy. |
I told the (team) I'm going to come back. I like everyone here. I like everything about San Francisco. |
I told them I want to come back. I like the guys here. I like the organization and I like everything about San Francisco. |
I was more worried about him than myself. |
I've never injured that before. It kind of grabbed on me. Nothing tore, hopefully. I've still got range of motion and some strength in it, so hopefully I get the soreness out. |
It just took off. We thought we had it pretty well under control. But then it blew up. |
It's coming along. It got better over the last couple of days. I'm always playing with a little pain. I'm trying to get it taken care of so it's not lingering all season. |
