I think he really had a tough year. We expected a lot for him. He swings the bat real good at the right moment, especially when we need it. ... He swung the bat good and helped this team be where we are. |
I think he should talk about the Oakland Athletics. |
I think he was confused. I think he must have missed the sign, but no, I think he was just running on his own. |
I think he's a Gold Glove third baseman and we expect a lot from him. |
I think he's ready to move on and be on the roster. I don't know if I'll play him or not. I'm not sure. Maybe I'll give him another day. |
I think he's swinging at better pitches. He's not trying to pull everything. He's trying to hit the ball into the middle of the field and right field. We wish this kid would be more consistent with that. When this kid is on, he's on for good and we need those hitters at the bottom of the lineup. |
I think I'll be the first manager to catch a first pitch in the World Series, |
I think if the wind had been blowing out the ball would have been out on the freeway. Anyone would have had trouble making that play. |
I think it will [help us] get some confidence back. Players seemed to get this confidence back and swing the bat real well. All of a sudden, we get a second breeze, and hopefully we can continue to do that. |
I think it will be great for baseball. I think he's the greatest hitter ever.... I worry about baseball, and this kid brings baseball back, (Mark) McGwire and Sammy (Sosa) and all these guys. People hated baseball then, after the strike. A lot of people will be mad when he breaks the record, but I hope he does. |
I think it's going to be a real attractive and weird World Series because you've got two teams that aren't supposed to be there. You're not going to see the big-name franchises. Nothing against them. I think it's just good for baseball, these two franchises that have never been there -- one the first time ever, the other people forget when was the last time. |
I think it's great because we proved a lot of people wrong, and I like that. |
I think it's great because we proved a lot of people wrong, and I think I like that. I call it low key. We took a lot of beatings this year during the year about my team, and we just kept playing. Good thing my players don't listen to what I was saying to the media. |
I think it's right to say that. I think he had a good reason to say that, but it's not in my hands. |
I think it's something so many people were looking forward to for so many years. I think this can be the biggest opening day we've ever had in so long. |
