Adam Davis Quotations

Obviously it's hard to lose 26 home runs. But it shouldn't be a factor. When a guy comes out of the lineup it's a chance for someone on the bench to come up and do his thing.

He has to take his time and let the muscle heal. This is not something you can battle through and play with.

He had a good change-up. We just couldn't make the adjustments.

He really talked about guys stepping up and guys taking positions. I think some guys answered some questions today.

He's got the experience. He's got that air about him. You can tell he wants to be out there.

He's been great. It's something we really needed because of the guys we lost from last year.

He wants to play. The FAMU game was one where he pressed and probably didn't need to play in. He could go out there and play now. But he realizes if he hurts it worse, it's going to be a longer process than just a couple weeks to let the muscle heal.

I think the people who will be affected the most will be the younger guys. Early on we will be able to find out how it will affect us.

I was ecstatic. It was a huge opportunity.

I was just looking for a pitch to hit. All day they were pitching us outside, so I knew I had to cover the outside half.

We never look at it like we can't win a game. We always feel that we can find a way to win a game.

That stuff comes and goes. It's something you've got to play through.

We hadn't played together since we were six years old. It was good to play with him again.

The quality of pitching was great this weekend. But our approach hasn't been what it needs to be. We need to do the little things we did last year to be so good. This year we've got guys trying to do too much.

With a bit of instruction, it's much easier to catch a wave than it looks. But most wave riders will tell you that becoming a great surfer is a lifetime pursuit.

These days you'll find a surf scene just about anyplace there are waves. Even on beaches once considered off the beaten path, you'll often find surf shops offering lessons and board rentals.

That's huge, just having him in the lineup and that fear factor in the other dugout. His presence is big for us. It will be a confidence booster to have him back in the lineup.

A lot of people have a lot of ideas. But a lot of people never do anything. That's frustrating. The hardest part is just getting into it and stepping up and doing it.

There's definitely a lot of anticipation for this year. There's a lot of expectations and excitement around the team. We're just ready to get going.

Every now and then there will be little glimmers of revelation about an old family legend that gets confirmed, or you find out the truth.

I know that the Bucks have established a winning tradition. I wanted to come here because the team is in the playoffs every year and has a chance to win.

I hooked up with the junior team and that is where the Brahmas saw me. I was more interested in playing pro than going to college, so that is what led me to Fort Worth.

I suddenly realized I knew next to nothing about them.

He's out there to listen, out there to throw the ball and do what he needs to do. When he speaks up it's a surprise.

He picked a very, very good time to be hot -- right now. He was just glad to make it because all he was trying to do was qualify with the team.
