I think he's a position player at heart but a pitcher out there on the field. |
I think that's the only reason we're at where we're at today. |
I told him I was going to get him. I said, 'You think I was catching you just for your benefit? I was waiting for this day, too.' It's going to be weird, a guy you went to battle with and played behind so much, being on the other side trying to get hits off him. |
I was hoping he'd make a mistake. |
I'm just getting hits, ... When a guy gets on base, I'm a little more aggressive. |
I'm just going to watch the game. I'll be watching as a fan. |
I'm torn. I can't really talk too much out here because I'm in Chicago and they love their sports so I have to root for the Heat silently. |
I've got to get out there. I can't be late for stretching. |
If he was 30 years old, I would still be impressed. He will be a superstar in the league. |
If he was 30 years old, I would still be impressed. He's just one of those kids who has that instinct. Everybody sees it and knows he is going to be special. It's just a matter of him being consistent and being able to bring those five tools to the game every night. And he can. He will be a superstar in the league. |
It was good to create a little havoc on the bases. |
It was nice to pick up the offense. They've been picking me up all season long. |
It was weird just facing him. |
It's a lot of preparation. I need to do some things to get ready for the game. And stay after the game to get ready for the next day. It's not work for me. There's nothing better in the world to come out here and take extra batting practice and fly balls. I consider that trying to make me a better baseball player. |
It's amazing ? it looks like he's just playing catch with the mitt, even with the movement on his pitches. The other day, St. Louis has a good hitting lineup, and they were missing balls by a foot. You want the definition of pitching, it's him. You wonder how he gets it done. |
