I like his honesty. I know he's out there working and I have confidence in him. |
I made a decision that if I was going to make an out, they were going to have to catch it. No more free outs. |
I pretty much started getting ready for it mentally about three weeks ago. |
I said hello to him. He always smiles at me and I smile back. I always liked Larry. |
I said I'd trade a hit for a win. Unfortunately it didn't happen. |
I said, 'Cool, I got some more bats,' |
I thought about it (Saturday) when I was walking out of the ballpark — 'Man, I cracked the Top 10 in something,' ... It's nice. |
I told him to pound the zone and throw strikes. That's exactly what he did. He kept the lead. He kept some gap for us and for himself. |
I try to get on base and score a run at least once a game. If I do that, I feel like I've done my job. |
I understood that he was trying to get to third, |
I was happy I got a triple -- not that I wouldn't have been satisfied with anything, |
I wasn't concerned. My swing was there. |
I?d like to start another streak. But we need to start a winning streak first. That is most important. |
I'd like to have Billy back. He was throwing 100 [mph] in the last game. How many guys do that? But he's going to have to do what's best for him and his family. Hopefully, it's here. If not, I'll be facing him somewhere. |
I'd rather do it in a winning fashion. |
