Well, it's going to this man right here because he earned it. |
When he has the ball in his hand, ... I feel good about it. |
When he's healthy, even this last year, he was doing damage on one leg. We wish him well and we're happy he's not in our division, so we don't have to see him a lot. Because in the last five years, when he's healthy, he has been doing the job. It has nothing to do with lack of skills or anything. It was just a matter of that injury. So if he's healthy, he is going to do some damage. |
When it's all said and done, you can't lose sight of the fact this team wasn't supposed to do this. |
When we came in after it was tied, no one was down. I think the overall kind of theme in the dugout was, everybody loves Bobby, we're not going to let him go home feeling bad about this. We're going to pick him up and we're not going to let this happen. We're going to get this win. |
When you put that with good pitching, we'll have good, tight ballgames. And if you have the guts, you can hang on and come out on the winning end of them. |
When you're coming into a situation where you don't know the players, doing what he did is definitely something that will get you off on the right foot with people. Most of us had heard about what a nice guy Jermaine was, but it definitely didn't hurt him coming into a new camp where everyone knew, 'Hey, this guy could have taken more money to play elsewhere, but he wanted to be here. |
When you're on the road before a big crowd that's rowdy and into it, it's always good to get on the board, even with a run in the first, |
Whether he gets hit early or in the middle or late, he gets in his seven innings it seems like every time. There are also great defensive plays made behind him and it's not a coincidence. Guys are in the game. He works quick. |
With the guard, it still hurts. But it prevents breaking bones. |
Yes, a little bit. But he made it easier. He came and talked to us before we went on. I think we were more uncomfortable before we met him than when we met him. |
You always want to deliver meaningful home runs, |
You are fortunate as a player if you spend a long time on one team, maybe 10 years, |
You can split up (the MVP) about 10 different ways, ... I mean, four complete games in a row, you have to be kidding me. But I know who the real MVP is and that's our pitching. I'm still going to respect it and I'll honor it, but it's all about team here. |
