Tony's one of the craftiest there is at trying to get the run in any way he can. Tony looks at the way a game is going and tries to create situations.
When you hit a home run in that situation, it is gratifying, ... Then when you hit home plate, then you've forgotten about it and you've got to move forward. So it's a lot of fun, but we've still got a long way to go.
When I come back, I want to be able to help this ballclub, ... Not just be a body on the field. So I've still got to run the bases (in practice), and I've still got to do a couple more things.
I think it is the cutting (with his weakened ankle),
He's a faithful guy, ... He's worked really hard this year to show this team that he's worthy, and now to get the opportunity to do this for the first time ... I'm just so very excited for him.
I'm a little sore but it's crunch time so I'll definitely be out there.
I felt good today, then I hit in the cages and got extremely dizzy. So I'm not ready.
I feel pretty good, ... I expected it to be worse.
He's playing like an everyday player. He's stepping up big. We all know he could have played every day with another ballclub.
Hal and I really just sat back and started thinking about things, and the way that I need to go about seeing pitches and getting in the right frame of mind, ... I've just been working hard every day to get where I needed to be.
One thing I've learned over the course is that, you know, go out there, do what you can do and hopefully you can open some eyes and somebody would want you to stay for a while,
I think you truly don't know how it is until you actually get in the game, ... Then you can alter from that. Going in, getting work every day, taking flyballs, running, hitting, whatever, that's not a game situation. ... When it's game time, you've got to go out there and do what you need to do.
Lima has always been Lima. He tries to get you caught up in his world, ... He did tonight.
It felt like I had never played baseball before and I was glad to get that one out of the way, ... was real nice.
