I just loved her. She was like a flea out there, a little bug all over the floor that people couldn't get away from. She fits us. But now, I give here a little more freedom. Not many coaches would allow her to do what I do. |
I just think, in the playoffs, it's a matter of executing. Every team comes in even and you start thinking about the seeding and you have to look at that one evening (game) and only that one evening and not past that point. |
I just try to bring a good work ethic to practice and compete hard. I'm definitely very excited. We lost to Penn State in the preseason in five games, so it's going to be a tough match, but we're going to have to play hard. |
I just try to shut everything down and just focus on what I want to do at the plate in those situations. Most of the time I try to not do too much because I get in trouble when I try to do too much. It happens to everybody. |
I just want to win games for our team. That's all I can worry about right now. At the end of the day, if what I do merits being a starter, then so be it, and obviously I'd be glad because I love the game and I like playing. |
I kept looking over my shoulder after I had broken away from her, ... Just then, I started unraveling and falling apart, and I know that when a marathon starts to go bad, you do gain significant seconds onto your mile pace. |
I knew it was my last year on the 40-man roster. I knew I had to do something or I wouldn't be on the team. Or they would trade me. I just tried to work hard and do something in spring training to show them I would be good. |
I knew they were out there, that's for sure. They were ranked No. 1 most of the year too. I didn't know until today if we belonged that high. After playing as well as we did, I think that might have been a good spot for us. |
I know I'm not going to make the team but I am trying to make a good impression with the manager and the coaching staff. I want them to know that I'm capable of pitching at this level and give them something to think about. |
I know it's been eight long years you guys have been with us, waiting patiently for this moment. Now we're the champions. We wanted to celebrate in front of you guys. We wouldn't be standing right here if it wasn't for you. |
I know Jim's decision to leave us was a difficult one, but it's hard to turn down such a great opportunity. Jim has been a valuable contributor to our development and we wish him the very best in his new position at Bolder. |
I know people refer to this as Black Friday, but it's probably a Blue Friday. We think it's going to be a season that'll probably be not as strong as last year, but nonetheless we think the consumer is in pretty good shape. |

I know the kids are disappointed. We were genuinely excited as a program to play them again. I can't tell you how many people came up to me (since the announcement) and said how excited they were that we were playing again. |
