I'm safe, and it was strike three. So there it is. |
If this organization is so cheap … they gave him $5.8 million contract, didn't they? All I know is, you look at a lot of these veteran guys in the league, I don't think they ever said that about the Rays. |
It's a new route we need to take, |
It's a true forkball. It's nasty. |
It's having the eye of the tiger. It's having the right demeanor. It's eliminating walks. It's throwing strikes so we can finish up, shower and enjoy a victory. |
It's not how much experience this team has. It's how much talent. And this team has talent. |
It's such a slow pitch, it catches everybody off guard. I love calling it because I love to see the expressions on the hitters' faces. |
It's too long of a season to get caught up in that. But it's good to go to Boston with our heads up. |
Look at these other teams and wonder why they won 30 more games than us, or how'd they lose 40 less than us. It's pretty self-explanatory when you look at the complete rosters of every team. That's what Lou has dealt with, |
Nasty. The guy has got five pitches and he throws them all for strikes. He's a professional. He knows how to pitch. Nasty. |
Obviously I liked what [Sternberg] said: They don't fail, ... You can see by the track record that they have -- especially at a young age -- that they haven't failed. And to be able to take upon this sort of situation, they obviously don't feel like they're going to fail either. |
Obviously, it's an honor. Anything we can do for his family is nice for us, so to name this award for him is terrific. |
That pitch he struck Trot out on was the one I used to swing at. |
The attitude is so different this year. It's like a whole new atmosphere. It's fun to come to the park every day. |
The place gets families from all around down. |
