I think it's cool. It lays out that we have a lot of personalities, but one common goal. We have 25 superstars who came here to get that opportunity to win. |
I think it's going to be a little bit easier for Johnny. He's coming over from Boston. I think he has already been through it. He's not going to have the deer in the headlights (look), where I came over from Oakland and the media outweighs the players. |
I think it's pretty pathetic that they tried to drag my father into it. |
I think it's pretty pathetic they want to drag my father into this. I've moved on. I mean that's just sad that someone would try and do that to sell a book. |
I was all over the place then. I had been hit (by a pitch) in the head and had been doing so much work since spring training to try and make up for last year that I was just strung out. But I knew it would change. |
I was just trying to stay in my strike zone. I enjoy (multi-homer) games, it makes it fun. I'm just trying to stay locked in. This is the best I've felt in a couple years. |
I was trying to get him to roll over, ... I got a lot of outs on my breaking ball. It was a good pitch. |
I would give it a try, but they said don't even try. It's not worth risking it. I'm walking a little better. It's not so tight. |
I'd probably have been a little more interested. |
I'll just keep going, try not to think about it. I'll do whatever needs to be done. |
I'm getting my pitches and I'm not missing them. This was a big win for us. We had to kick and scratch for everything. |
I'm just glad we won. If I had hit three solo shots and we lost, who cares? ... They came in big spots. I love playing in this ballpark. I came through here a lot of years with the A's. I see the ball well, and it gets out of here to left. |
I'm just going to stay within my strike zone. I can be just as valuable getting on base with my walks and running up pitch counts. I'll stay selective. I feel good at the plate, and I'll keep hitting the ball hard. |
I'm just swinging the bat and playing the game. I haven't really thought about it. If I'm swinging the bat good, so I don't think it matters where I'm playing. |
I'm just trying to go up there and get a good pitch, ... I got a couple of mistakes and was able to hit them hard. |
