It's nice to see him kind of even things out 'cause he's struggled against them in the past. |
It's nice to talk about where guys are going to finish and what guys are going to do, but to me until you knock off the big boys I think it's fair to say they are the favorites. I feel good about our chances, obviously, and preach to our players constantly about winning. But you've still got to do it first. |
It's nice. I look forward to it, man. I love the competition. |
It's not going to be a thing if he comes here where we say, 'OK, fine, put him at second and let him play,' because we want to win games, |
It's not like he's totally out of whack. Sometimes you just have a nice round of B.P. and you get a different perspective. |
It's obviously a very important stretch for us, and we'll just play it as we go. That's the way we've kept it all year, one game and one series at a time. |
It's only his second start. I'm not concerned or worried about it. |
It's only three games. But, I'm looking forward to our next road trip (San Diego, San Francisco and Atlanta). We're playing well and we have to continue to do that. |
It's Spring Training, so you get your work in. But we're still continuing to work toward a certain style of solid play, how we go about our business. I want to see some of that, too. Spring Training isn't just about stats. |
It's the total package to me. His leadership is very important. He's been around a long time. He knows how to communicate with players young and old. He still can swing a bat. He's the kind of guy who brings a lot to the table and is instrumental in many ways that you might not see. |
It's there. We made good contact five or six times tonight and we didn't have much to show for it. |
It's tough enough to play the game, [let alone] having a rookie come up when he hasn't played in a week. |
It's unfortunate that every time he seems to get going he gets injured. It's frustrating because we can't keep him in the lineup. |
It's unusual, but why not? I don't think that you can look at any of these teams and say, 'Well, they're going to fall out. |
It's up to us to prove that. |
