Is he going to be a .300 hitter? I don't know. Maybe sometime. But I don't think any of us are expecting that or really looking for that out of him this year. I think right now it's more about catching the ball. I think the more comfortable he becomes with that and the more settled he gets, the better his hitting is going to get. Anything he gives us offensively right now is icing on the cake. |
It felt like at least 12 innings. Really, it felt like we put an awful lot into one afternoon at the park. |
It gives me a sense of tunnel vision, |
It hard to tell. In one game it's hard to make an assessment, but he still has that same presence, still has that same effect on the game. |
It hurts a little bit more at this time of year. It's a tough game to swallow. |
It might have been their birthdays. I gave them each a gift. |
It seems like Frank does that a few times over the course of the year, so I don't know if it helps or not. But as a player, you always want to know your manager is fighting for you. And nobody's going to accuse Frank of not fighting for his team. |
It seems like whenever you think you've seen it all, it usually happens in my games, ... If we're not going to get into the playoffs, we at least have to get to the point where we go down fighting. |
It stinks that we lost and it stinks that one of our buddies got hurt. |
It was a fastball in, and I didn't get it in enough. |
It was during the game. |
It was either come in here and hang out for two hours waiting for the game, or do something. You hear about these guys, and you hear about people in our system. Unless we're pitching on the same day, you never get to see them throw. |
It was pretty good for day one. I did much better in my pitching than I did in my vertical jump and my long jump. |
It went from being kind of a mom-pop business, where you got what you wanted and you knew what you needed to do, to a franchise. You were just part of the corporate ladder or the bottom line. There was no personal touch. |
It will be interesting to see the impact on the game. It's a very long season. I think players were using them as a way to not feel tired sometimes or sluggish. Everyone is looking for that. It's no different than the way people use caffeine to get a boost. |
