Every two or three hours she wakes up crying and wants to eat. I've got one night's rest. It was tough to leave, but my mom is there and her mom is there. My wife was teary-eyed when I left, knowing I was going to be gone. |
Everyone's healthy and doing great. |
He took it hard. I can understand that. Kirby took him under his wing and helped him out. I wish Kirby the best. I hope he gets better. |
He's a fun guy to have around the clubhouse. He's a very good guy. |
He's a good player. Good hitter, too. It's going to help us out a whole lot having him in the lineup. |
I can't get a hit every time. So the next best thing for me is to walk. I try to work a pitcher. You go up there and take a couple of pitches and go deep in the count and it helps the other hitters out, too. They're all watching to see what the guy's got. |
I don't know a whole bunch about Seafair other than hydroplanes, Blue Angels, Budweiser and drunk pirates. |
I have to get it where I can swing hard, ... As soon as it's 80 percent and if I can deal with it, I'm going to play. |
I think the coaching staff will have to get used to him a little bit because he's kind of a guy you think his work ethic, the way he looks, he's effortless. But that's just him. It's not that he doesn't care. That's his makeup. He can play, flat out, no matter what the guy looks like. He's going to be a good fit. |
I think we'll have a good team this year. We made some good acquisitions over the off-season. We do have great pitching. |
I was in shock when she told me. I would never think in a million years that she would be fired, especially after looking at her record and all. |
If I don't play this series, I'll be playing against Cleveland [on Friday], unless something drastic happens. I'm just trying to get out there as quick as possible. Each day feels a little better. |
If it feels good tomorrow, I'll be ready to play soon. I don't how I'll feel until I swing and miss. You never know until the game. |
If you hit one or two, your job is to get on base, and there is a certain way that you are supposed to take your at-bats. If you throw guys in that position who haven't been there, it makes it a little difficult [to get] the results that you're looking for. But you get a guy like Castillo, who has hit one or two all his career, along with someone like myself, who has done the same, you kind of got an idea of what you want to do in those situations. |
It was a long inning, and I forgot. I'm mad about it. I messed up. It was a tough day for us, and I made it worse. |
