(Washburn) shouldn't cry about it; he should take it for what it is. Do it the right way, ... He got the win, and that's the only thing he should be worried about. That's a selfish act to be worried about his ERA after he's already got the win. |
[2. SQUAT PRESS TO THROW WITH MEDICINE BALL Holding a 14-pound ball, Crawford squats, then jumps straight up while throwing the ball upward. He does it five times and then switches to a six-pound ball for three more throws. Three sets.] This works almost everything from your legs to your core to your shoulder muscles, ... If we do this inside, we see who can hit the ceiling with the medicine balls. I usually come close. |
[3. ACCELERATION SLED PULL Dragging 90 pounds of weight attached to a sled, Crawford does two 15-yard sprints, then removes the straps and does a 15-yard sprint with no resistance. Three sets.] I started at 70 pounds, and it took me a month to get to 90, ... Having the sled pulling me back forces me to use the correct running form for speed and acceleration. |
[General manager Chuck LaMar said the agreement] reinforces our goal to sign, develop and retain our most talented, young players, ... cornerstone of our future successes. |
[The Devil Rays finished the season 67-95, three wins shy of the team record set last year.] It's going to be a little different because I've been here with Lou for the past three years and I've gotten used to his ways, ... Lou is somebody who wants to win every game, every day. That's the attitude he brings. |
A nice solid number to reach a nice little milestone, |
Add a few ingredients and maybe we can be the Cleveland Indians next year. |
All we hear is Vince saying that he is not leaving anytime soon, ... We don't know what to believe. I really don't think guys are thinking about it too much. We're just kind of in limbo. We're just waiting to see what happens. It sounds like it's going to be a wild offseason. |
Baseball's funny like that. Don't ask me how something like that happens. |
Everyone knew he'd come back and pitch well. I'm just happy he's OK. |
Everything is still positive. Everybody's still having fun. |
Everything seems so positive around here. You want to see where this new positive way will take us. It's time to get back in the groove so we can start this season off with a bang. |
Guys looked ready and in shape. [It was] a bunch of eager guys out there trying to turn this losing team around. |
He almost got me, he just missed. So that's why I say I wouldn't have been swinging anyway. |
He knows what's what and what he needs to do. He just has the mind-set to be a real professional and business-like and to find where he fits in. |
