It'll go in my trophy case. Some people might look at the box score and be a little surprised [today]. Nobody knows where we're going to end up, but I know our kids are going to play hard. |
It's a crazy game. We drew it up. It was supposed to work, and it didn't work. That's baseball. |
It's a frustrating 1-4 because it could have been 4-1. In the four losses, three of the losses, we were one hit away from winning the game. |
It's a good thing they have names on their uniforms. It's going to be one big competition. |
It's a huge compliment to him. As he goes on, he will learn how to hit in those situations. When some of our younger hitters get better, they will stop walking Miguel so much and have to pitch to him a little. |
It's a huge opportunity for him. He hasn't been healthy the last couple of years in Chicago and it hurt him. |
It's a nice little test for our young guys. To see those guys, they have an All-Star pretty much at every position. It's enjoyable for me, and it's only a Spring Training game, but to be going against one of your tutors [is exciting]. We have a lot of young players who have not been in the big leagues. I'm not sure how they will react. |
It's a nice problem to have. Most teams would love to have that now. A lot of teams would probably like to have eight veterans. But we have eight young kids that have a chance to develop. |
It's a pressure situation every day for these kids because they see they're competing for a job. |
It's a shame the little things we didn't do in the eighth cost us. |
It's a situation you hope gets worked out because it's best for both sides, and it's best for baseball. |
It's a special place for me. |
It's a tough time to have it for me to go, but it's a nice honor. I grew up in a great town and had a great childhood. The people of Peoria and East Peoria were great to me. The town gave me every opportunity in life to succeed. I think that's all you can ask for as a kid. |
It's a work in progress. It's slow, and we'll continue to try to make him better. |
It's about staying down in the zone and making your pitches and (Vargas) struggled with that. He was missing location. That's going to happen. It happens to great pitchers. It happens to all pitchers. |
