We all have to contribute here if we're going to win this year. |
We have some unfinished business (and) I like to finish what I start. Obviously, the last two years weren't good. |
We needed this one; we all needed it. It was a good meeting. I like it, the timing of it. We need something to get us going. |
We've got to come out of the gates and show that we're for real. Everybody says it's not how you start, it's how you finish. Yeah, that's true. But you've still got to set a tone. |
You can't ask for anything more. I got treated fair this year. |
You can't think about the wall, but you always know it's there. You can't pitch differently because of it. |
You know what? That was the longest inning I've had in a long time. It seemed like 100 pitches. I'm glad it's early and got it out of the way. Don't want many of those, man. |
You pitch up there at this level, you're going to pay the price. It was my fault. |
You want to look for bright spots. If you're a fan who knows the game, I think you'd have to say we're better. I know I've had guys from other teams ask me, 'What's wrong over there? That's a good lineup. We haven't hit consistently. We haven't pitched consistently. And we haven't done both in the same games consistently. |
You've got to set a tone early. We didn't set that tone early last year and it lasted the whole year. |
