All I can tell you is that I don't have much to tell you. |
Chicago should really appreciate this and understand what this is all about. This is the pinnacle. |
Everything is working out well right now. I just can't do what I used to do. I'm not going to run just to be running. I'm not going to continue to pound the thing in and let it flare up. I'll do what's necessary. |
Exactly. You got that right. |
Fifteen years now. I think of all the great teams we've had, and if we'd had this pitching, you never know how many rings we'd have won. But I'm just happy to be around and be a part of this. |
He knows how to pitch to the fat part of the ballpark. |
He said, 'Just put the bat on the ball and let it happen. Robin got to the point where he walked up there knowing he'd get out. |
He was saying how loaded this team is and how tough it is finding at-bats for everyone. The guy who's swinging the hot bat will probably decide things a lot, but I told him that playing two out of every three games or something like that is fine with me. Whatever he needs to do to keep guys fresh. |
He's never done anything that I haven't done on a baseball field. Maybe that's what [the Sox] wanted, just a big-left handed hitter. It wasn't a better hitter, I'm going to tell you that right now. |
He's still got a blazing fastball, |
Hopefully, I'll get hot and make it hard for him to take me out. |
I don't feel behind compared to any time in my career. My first month is always slow until I start playing back-to-back games and stuff. Once I'm at 100 at-bats, everything will be clicking. |
I don't know how the Angels just let him go. |
I felt good. My timing was a little off. But there wasn't any pain. That's the main thing. It was nice to see someone throwing at me and having to react. |
I felt great. It was what I expected. That's my goal, to be ready for opening day. |
