[Maine] had three pitches he was throwing that he looked like he had confidence to throw in any count, ... We really hit the ball a couple of times right at guys. |
He came up and in, and I?m just protecting the plate right there. I did a good job of getting the bat to the ball and got a little help from the wind. |
I didn't need seven years of medical school to know what was next. |
I feel I'm an everyday player. I feel like, you know, the hamstring injuries . . . I don't know what the explanation is for them; I don't know if it's a sign I'm getting older and I'm going to start getting more of them. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape. It just depends on the situation and what role you'll have. |
I hit a fastball. I got a good swing on it and I got some help from the wind, but I hit it pretty well. |
I knew what the big cheer was about, but then I had to go up there and try to get a good pitch to hit. |
I was just looking for a ball over the plate and get it into the air (for a sacrifice fly), ... The worst thing you can do is hit a ground ball. |
I would be surprised if it would be more than 15 days. Talking to the trainers, they all feel like it's mild. I don't feel like it's a bad pull. |
I'm looking for a good pitch to hit, something that he'll leave over the plate. He just did a good job pitching to me. His cutter was still alive and jumping out of his hand. |
In terms of coming to Bible study and chapel, this team has more guys involved than any team I've ever been with. |
It was definitely a good night for me, |
It's great news. There's an adjustment going from the bullpen to starting. I've got to believe it's an easier adjustment for him than going from starter to the bullpen. |
It's not something he hits you over the head with: 'I'm in charge here,' ... But you can see, I think, he's very comfortable in his role. And everybody knows it. |
Oh, I get it, ... Canadian humour. I remember one night years ago, Ed Sprague and I went to a Yuk-Yuk's. The comedian starts out: 'So this guy from Saskatchewan and Manitoba walk into a bar ... We had zero points of reference. |
On that one I was just trying to hit a sacrifice fly. I got behind it and hit it pretty well. |
