I can't say enough about Kennedy, Witasick and Payton, ... To me, Payton's been the biggest. I think it's thesingle best trade we've ever made ? just because of the lack of offense. |
I consider Wash one of the better teachers in the game, |
I didn't even see Frank's swing. By the time I put down my helmet and my batting gloves and sat down, Milton went deep. |
I didn't know he was ready. It surprised me. Obviously, if Rich is back, it will be a much-needed boost. |
I don't care about the results. It doesn't matter the lineup. I just work on my approach. |
I don't know if that's a direct result. Mentally, I was prepared this season, regardless of my physical condition. |
I don't think chemistry is overrated at all. I think it's real important. |
I guess he caught Jason at the wrong moment, which is not hard to do. |
I guess he caught Kendall in the wrong moment, which isn't hard to do. |
I have the right approach now. I had the wrong approach. Now, I'm less aggressive and I'm letting things happen. I like to swing the bat and attack the ball. I'm seeing the pitch and slowing it down a little bit. As funny as it sounds, I'm really not worried about my numbers. |
I hope we can score five or six runs tomorrow. I hope this will help get our confidence back. There's a lot of baseball left, I hope we can get going again. |
I just think guys were more afraid of getting hurt than anything. I know what it takes to get ready. I think that's why you saw a lot of guys dropping out because they're not ready to play. It's too early to play, especially competitively. That's why spring training is what it is. |
I just wanted to get off the turf. |
I kinda hit the panic button a little. My main focus was just put the barrel on the ball. I guess during the game a switch went on. But I was shagging balls and felt delusional. I didn't know where I was at. |
I know Lackey said something back in Oakland, and he said something today, too. |
