I like the 4,000 hits. That’s the one that gets me. That’s a lot of hits. That’s the most eye-popping record to me besides the home run record. You ask anybody who plays the game,...

A nice solid number to reach a nice little milestone,

I’ve just got a little soreness in it that I’m not comfortable with, and to go down there and not have somebody treat it the same way, I didn’t think I’d get the same treatment...

It’s hard to deal with right now, … It’s been hurting for a while.

All we hear is Vince saying that he is not leaving anytime soon, … We don’t know what to believe. I really don’t think guys are thinking about it too much. We’re just kind of...

He looks great. You see him hitting in the cage? He looks like he’ll be ready [for Opening Day]. I can’t wait to get back on the field with him because we feed off each...

It was the most painful triple I’ve ever got.

We would do start-up testing in 2014 or 2015.

We’re gonna have to respond to the challenge a little bit. (Ownership) is setting up the pins for us, and we have to knock them down. They’re setting it up for the players, and we...

It was just one of those games. It didn’t matter what (Waechter) did. The way they came out, it was going to happen to whoever pitched.

They got tired of people asking why they can’t win against us. They tried to bury us early and just did what they had to do.

I just think the second half came. Guys were trying to put up numbers, to be honest with you. Guys trying to get jobs for next year and play well so they can try to...

It’s cool, because we never had that feeling around here. So it feels great. Now we just want to keep pushing and keep the momentum going.

He’s got the same kind of passion I have. We’re kind of similar in a lot of ways. That’s why I think that’s what brought us together, the demeanor that we have to get better,...

It’s just one of of those things you have to program yourself to not worry about. It’s no reason to jump on our starting pitchers. We just have to go out and score more runs.

[2. SQUAT PRESS TO THROW WITH MEDICINE BALL Holding a 14-pound ball, Crawford squats, then jumps straight up while throwing the ball upward. He does it five times and then switches to a six-pound ball...

Our fans shouted him down.

He’s stressing the little things this year. It’s fine with me because I needed to put that into my game. Joe’s the kind of guy that he’s cool enough that if he suggests something, then...

They make you raise your eyebrows when you understand how hard they are to get to.

[General manager Chuck LaMar said the agreement] reinforces our goal to sign, develop and retain our most talented, young players, … cornerstone of our future successes.

I don’t get it. I don’t know why it’s like that. It’s almost like we’re being punished for having the worst record.

We talk way beyond baseball. When it comes to life experiences, I go to him for that. When it comes to baseball, he talks to me. We kind of swap information.

We were kind of expecting it, but we didn’t know when.

[3. ACCELERATION SLED PULL Dragging 90 pounds of weight attached to a sled, Crawford does two 15-yard sprints, then removes the straps and does a 15-yard sprint with no resistance. Three sets.] I started at...

You never want to disappoint that many people who came to watch us play. That’s what I’m really worried about. That’s why I’m hating we didn’t get the win.

Jolly McCarty was one of my best friends. You never knew what he did because he did so much. He always worked behind the scenes, never taking credit for what he did. He was the...

You feel so many good vibes around here now. It’s so fresh that it’s hard to believe, but they are doing a good job getting the vibe out of last year. By the end of...

There’s always room for improvement. That’s why I keep coming back.

I’m sorry we couldn’t get the win for [Seth], but baseball’s funny like that. Hopefully, we’ll come out tomorrow swinging the bats.

I’m looking forward to it. I’m a little antsy right now. I just have to make sure I just keep at the pace everyone wants me to go at and go from there.

I just came out wanting to battle and do what I normally do and play hard until the last inning.

It looked like he was just trying to get his rhythm in the first inning.

I don’t know. I was in the clubhouse. I would have liked to been there.

Baseball’s funny like that. Don’t ask me how something like that happens.

We just want to go out and play baseball. We don’t want to have to worry about this kind of thing. Hopefully that’s the end of it on the field.

I understood. He got the point across, … But that’s OK. I’m a football guy. I’m used to a guy being up in my face. It motivates me. I don’t take it personally.

Last year I was trying to hit home runs too much. This year I’m going to play within the game. Whatever the game needs for us to win, that’s what I’m going to do.

Seth pitched well today. It’s too bad we couldn’t get the win for him, but baseball is funny like that. Especially with this team. It’s tough to get zero against a team like us. Don’t...

There’s no concern at all [about the wrist]. If there was, I wouldn’t be playing. I wouldn’t put myself in a position to mess things up more than what they already are. That being said,...

I try to catch Vick whenever I can, … He’s somebody I’ll watch every Sunday, or I’ll pay to watch.

I was just mad that I got out. I had my helmet and my hat in one hand and I kind of slung both of them not knowing that my hat was going to go...

We missed him last year. I know he wasn’t happy about not being able to play.
