As a competitor, I don't expect anything less than what I'm capable of doing. When you think you're underachieving, you feel you let others down. But trust me, I'm letting myself down more than anything else. |
As long as we don't have revenues other teams do, and unless we're drawing 40,000 a game, we're going to have a fixed payroll. |
He breeds a good feel to the game when he's on the mound. It's not a boring game when he's out there. |
He plays the position as good as anyone. |
He wanted to destroy the dugout after that first inning. |
He wanted to destroy the dugout after that first inning. But the way he threw, to be down one run after that inning, I'd take that. |
His velocity is down; something is wrong. He's not 100 percent, but he's still competing out there and doing a good job. |

I figured that out when 3,000 people turned out to watch us stretch on the first day. |
I have an open-door policy. |
I know it's tough to catch Wake. It's just unfortunate that one of the balls that got away put them ahead. He's got a tough job, playing once every five days. |

I really believe in muscle memory. It's been frustrating. |
I think [Wednesday] was as close to a must-win game as you can get. But [Thursday]? You can definitely apply some pressure when you're one win away. |
I think at first I was a little bummed out because I saw guys playing second and thought I could do a better job, ... As I kept moving up you see the range guys have. I had plenty of arm strength for third. |
