call good great kept listen low people players proved saying took year
I think it's great because we proved a lot of people wrong, and I think I like that. I call it low key. We took a lot of beatings this year during the year about my team, and we just kept playing. Good thing my players don't listen to what I was saying to the media.
kid saying
This kid does everything for the team. That's why I keep saying this kid is my MVP.

honor mom people talk
I would say I was honored. Not too many people like the president. I do. My mom will kill me, but it's an honor to talk to the president.
arm attack best confidence game guys kid matter strikes throw time win won
Jose had always had the best arm on my team. It's a matter of time when he can use that. It's a matter of confidence. This kid won a big game for us and he showed the guys when you have confidence and throw strikes and attack the strike zone, you can win a lot of games.
Joe's a big part of the team. Hopefully, it's nothing real bad.
best confidence means players talk worry
I talk to him every day. I don't want my players to worry about who they are or their roles. I tell them, 'Try the best you can and don't second-guess yourself because that means you don't have confidence in yourself.
switched worked
I switched my mind, ... It worked for us.
dusty known mean sad since talked
I talked to him. We talked. He said he didn't mean it like it sounded. It wasn't that I was (angry), but I was sad because I've known Dusty since I was 2.
continue happened page past ruin strong talked turn whatever
I talked to him as a friend, talked to him like his father, ... I said: 'You continue to do this, you're going to ruin your life. Whatever happened in the past is over. You are strong enough to turn this page on the past.'
against attractive forget good last people series supposed teams time weird
I think it's going to be a real attractive and weird World Series because you've got two teams that aren't supposed to be there. You're not going to see the big-name franchises. Nothing against them. I think it's just good for baseball, these two franchises that have never been there -- one the first time ever, the other people forget when was the last time.
great people proved
I think it's great because we proved a lot of people wrong, and I like that.
baseball longer maybe needs played reason
I think the only sport that really needs it is football. Baseball has been played for 100 years, maybe longer than that. They don't have it, and I don't know the reason to do it now.
