[Another option, although many players are reluctant to use it, is to have ballpark security personnel remove abusive fans.] I don't like kicking fans out, because they paid money to get in, ... But if I came to their work and swore at them and talked about their moms, that isn't good. |
I hope they keep the team somewhat intact, ... I think most of us deserve another year --another chance. I think we probably could use someone like a dominant No. 1 starting pitcher, but beyond that I don't know what the hell to say about what we should do. |
I know I'm not supposed to talk about this. But I think what it shows is that steroid testing is working. |
I'm sure the fans are fi red up a little bit. As players we're fired up, but we try to keep it at an even keel. |
It took a lot of energy to come back from such a large deficit. I think we just ran out of gas. |
No matter what, ... you always try to win. This is when you have to bear down and challenge yourself. |
No need to bring me in. If I go two weeks without pitching, I'll never complain. That means our starters are doing good. |
Our press at the start of the second half caused Blue Mountain to turn the ball over and gave us some easy baskets. |
The difference in the game was that we pressed in the second half. |
They just out-worked and out-hustled us. |
They're fine, the kids we've got here. They know their place. They're not afraid to ask questions. But they're very aggressive. I like that. |
We have to get better in the mental aspects of the game, ... That's true for both the pitchers and hitters. The pitchers can't be giving up hits on 0-2 counts like we have, and the hitters have to find a way to get the runner over when he's on second with no outs. |
We played a good defensive game; we just didn't shoot well. |
Yeah, I keep track of all the home runs I give up, ... and I'll ask you: Where are some of these guys who hit them? Not in the game, or broke down, that's where. |
