I don't think they want me on base via a walk. I'm getting some pretty good pitches to hit.

I hit it off the end, a split-finger down and in. I didn't think he was going to catch up to it, but he made a heck of a play.

I take that very seriously. I think management, that's one of the reasons that they brought me back. They know I am going to play hard and lead by example. If there is something that needs to be addressed, I don't mind addressing it.

I think everybody believes that we have the kind of talent that can really surprise some people. I don't think anybody picked this team to be in first place last year for two months of the season. I think we're improved from there.

I think someone young with fresh ideas and a different style of baseball will be good for the team. Hopefully, it will be a good fit.

I've been steadily feeling better and better at the plate and feeling more comfortable to hit. I feel like my swing is really good right now.

It happened as we were going out on the field. Give him a hug and... got to go play now.

It saddens me that the team was broken up like it was. I understand where [the owners] were coming from and what they did. It is sad when you get a bunch of guys together that you like, and they are split up.

It was very sobering but in a way uplifting,
|
It would have been nice to get a little bit of separation, but we ran into two of the best pitchers in the big leagues. It was usual Pettitte. He showed us different looks in every at-bat.
|
It's all about location. He located his fastball on the outside corner all night long.
|
It's been a very disappointing two weeks.
|
It's disappointing and frustrating. Any time you get a collection of guys like this together and know you have what it takes to make the postseason and you don't, it's classified as a disappointment.
