I saw the team we had Lou's first year and his second year. They put together a nice team. The year after that, you should be getting better, ... When I saw that we went backwards, I said: 'I don't think Lou is going to be around here too much longer.' |
I took some aggressive hacks and felt fine. I'm more up to speed than what I thought I was [with my timing], and this was a real good day, to be honest. |
I took some aggressive hacks and it felt fine. I couldn't ask for nothing better. |
I try to catch Vick whenever I can, ... He's somebody I'll watch every Sunday, or I'll pay to watch. |
I understood. He got the point across, ... But that's OK. I'm a football guy. I'm used to a guy being up in my face. It motivates me. I don't take it personally. |
I was just mad that I got out. I had my helmet and my hat in one hand and I kind of slung both of them not knowing that my hat was going to go out on the field. I definitely didn't do it intentionally. I'm not that stupid to throw my stuff on the field. |
I'm glad to see him back out there pitching, ... I was mostly scared for his health. He is important to their team. You hate to see somebody go down like that. |
I'm looking forward to it. I'm a little antsy right now. I just have to make sure I just keep at the pace everyone wants me to go at and go from there. |
I'm sorry we couldn't get the win for [Seth], but baseball's funny like that. Hopefully, we'll come out tomorrow swinging the bats. |
I'm trying to be more selective and getting pitches to drive. I'm also trying to catch pitches out front more, ... Once I have somebody teach how to do that consistently, I won't have to pull my home runs all the time. And that's when my numbers will go up more. |
I've just got a little soreness in it that I'm not comfortable with, and to go down there and not have somebody treat it the same way, I didn't think I'd get the same treatment [at the WBC that] I would here. I figure I come here and get the little TLC down here that I wouldn't be getting in Arizona, and that's what factored in my whole decision. |
If we were playing a team that wasn't in it we'd still want to win. I don't want to say we like messing up their plans. I'm not trying to stir up nothing on the other side. |
It felt good. I hit some balls hard. |
It looked like he was just trying to get his rhythm in the first inning. |
It showed it had a lot of speed. |
