Jimmy Rollins Good Quotations

We're playing good ball. That's what we're supposed to do.

I got it on the right spot (of the bat), but it just came off soft. Marquis is a good athlete, period. We found that out again with what he did at the plate.

I had two good swings there. That's part of baseball. You don't get rewarded for good swings all the time. You have guys there with gloves and that's what they're paid to do is get you out.

I had two good swings (in the first four plate appearances), so I went back to the cage and worked with my personal hitting coach Shane Victorino on my swing some more. We put up just enough hits and runs for me to get another at-bat.

He looked like Ricky Williams crossing the goal line, ... He had nothing left. It was a good time for an oxygen tank.

Records are meant to be broken and it's good to have an opportunity to chase them. But I'm more focused on how we do as a team.

It feels good to win two in a row. That's something new around here. That's just the beginning.

We played this season to get to the playoffs and give ourselves a championship and we're not going to be able to do that. But I think we have a good makeup and a good formula at the top starting with the manager and the coaching staff.

I've been waiting five or six months, so I didn't mind waiting. It was good to get the first game out of the way.

You don't get rewarded for good swings. I wasn't worried. As long as my swing is there, I know I'll get a hit somehow.

Absolutely nothing. It would have been a good time to have an oxygen tent.

I just wasn't getting good swings. They came at me and I had bad results.

He put a couple of things into perspective, allowing me to free my swing up a little more, ... I think it's always good to hear from the opposite end of the spectrum.
