Anytime you lose that many games, it's really tough. You just have to keep grinding it out and hopefully we learned from it. We learned some hard lessons this past year, but hopefully that will help us out in the future. (KC manager Buddy Bell) has made some changes and he's a good manager. I have a lot of respect for him. |
Brook Lambert (of Johnston Memorial Hospital) and Pioneer Chevrolet did a really good job with this event. I wasn't the biggest part of it. It was just something that I wanted to do for Andrew and his family. Andrew was a great friend. |
From my understanding, yes, I'm competing for a bullpen spot. It is subject to change at any time. |
I'd like not to have got into that situation. I was trying to get out of there alive basically. I just had to readjust my thinking and try to get a ground ball or pop fly, and it happened. That is a positive way to look at it. I would say that it was a positive outing. |
I've got to come in throw strikes and stay ahead of hitters. I didn't do that. It is totally my fault. |
In my aspect, I can't really think about it as I'm out of options. You just want to play baseball. Obviously, I want to be in the big leagues. I want to get established in the big leagues. |
In my eyes, I'd like to think I can compete at a big league level. Allard and Buddy may not think that, but another team can. |
