About then you're thinking that maybe (the losing streak is over). |
Aggressive is good, but have we been overly aggressive at times? Probably. It's a good question. We're trying to make things happen, but when you're not hitting, everything stands out. |
All he cares about is hitting. He's really watching, and he sees all the little things in your swing. He's a highly intelligent man. |
He always said if he could no longer perform up to his standards or be an everyday player that he would walk away. I enjoyed having him as a teammate, that sarcasm and humor. I have the utmost respect and admiration for what he has done in this game. |
He could dish it out like nobody, but he could take it too. He had that sarcastic sense of humor. When you first become his teammate, you see some things and wonder, 'Is he serious or is he joking?' He was always joking. |
He hit a home run off Paul Byrd to right-center field when we were playing against him. It's the farthest opposite-field home run I've ever seen a right-handed hitter hit at Safeco Field. It probably went 15 rows back. He did the bat flip and the whole thing. I got to second base later and he told me that was the first hit he ever had off Byrd. |
He is an unbelievable human being and probably the best teammate I have ever had. I want my son to grow up and be just like Dan Wilson. |
He sits in the cage for hours upon hours upon hours. That's all he thinks about. That's all he really cares about. Hitting. All he wants to do is be in the cage and be in the video room. Cage, video room, cage, video room. |
He's a funny guy. He definitely likes to keep things light. He's a force in the lineup, too. |
He's really good about putting his words into actions. He can also show you what he means. If you don't get it, he'll sit there with you and walk you through it, but he's not a pushy guy. You've got to want what he's giving you. He won't come after you that way. You have to want to pick up what he's saying. |
I am ecstatic. Seattle is where I wanted to be...it's where I've always wanted to be. It feels like home to me. I am excited about the direction of the team, and am very, very happy to be here. |
I didn't even know that was a steal. It's a cheap steal. |
I didn't see the stop sign at all, and then I didn't see that (Barajas) was blocking the plate until it was too late. If I slide, maybe it's a one-run game. |
I don't know if it's a sigh of relief. But this is a great win for us. |
I heard where he hadn't been all that sharp this year. Well, he was sharp tonight. When he wasn't throwing slider he pounded fastballs in. |
