It's important anywhere. The winning organizations, that's what they have. They have a plan and stick with it. Everybody knows what's going on and knows what to expect. That's what we're striving to get to, I guess. |
Last year, Wily was playing a lot. He was hot from the get-go. I think it's a different mind-set when you know you're going to be out there. My first two at-bats weren't all that great. This year, I'm not sitting there worrying about if I don't do something here I might not be in there tomorrow. It's easier on the mind-set. |
Losing is no fun. And we've lost here for a while. We've had some opportunities in the past where the first two or three months of the season we were on top of the division. We could have used another arm or two, and we hadn't done it. It's nice to know that now that same situation would be different. |
My average was by no means where I want it to be. |
My weight was not the reason I was struggling last year. |
Some crazy stuff happens here. |
Some crazy stuff has happened. It's been a long year. |
That was the worst wind I've ever seen here. It wasn't easy out there by any means. |
The game was close, so I figured I might get to pinch hit. I had a bad game Saturday and had been battling. I needed to relax. That (hit) was good to see. |
The weirdest thing for us will be that we won't see him strolling into the clubhouse wearing the same clothes for three or four days in a row. |
The worst I've ever seen here. Up high, it was blowing out. But down low, it was blowing in hard. |
They call him 'The Mayor' for a reason. He definitely has a lot of fans. |
They wanted me to come in lighter. I planned on doing it anyway, just because such a big deal was made out of that last year. I didn't want people to use that as an excuse. |
Very strange game. It wasn't pretty. |
We definitely needed to win this game. These are the games we're supposed to win. |
