Obviously, nobody probably would have said one word otherwise, if he had stayed with his wife and daughters one more day. But he wanted to come back and play, and he did, and obviously contributed...

J.P. has brought in pitchers and hitters to help out and that’s just what we’re going to try and do. We’re going to try to put this team back to the level it’s been before...

I’m just trying to hit it, that’s it. I was told a long time ago when I first came up, we’re producers, not directors. All you can do is hit it, you can’t control where...

The expectations are great. That means everyone in the front office did their job. Expectations should be relished and enjoyed.

You can’t control Mother Nature, but the conditions were unsafe in the top of the fifth inning. Obviously, that team was probably more dangerous since they were playing defense. However, nobody should’ve been on the...

With the moves that they made, and things that they’ve been able to do, this team seems poised to make a run. We’re young and very, very talented.

We’re always trying to get it done and drive in those runs. Tonight it worked out. Hopefully the next 30-35 games we have left, we can keep it going.

He was throwing hard but he made a couple of mistakes and we were able to take advantage. You pop those mistakes up and it’s a different ball game. Fortunately for us we were able...

A couple of balls found some holes and I hit a couple on the barrel. It was nice; it’s been a while.

I hadn’t seen Kalen since he was probably 5 or 6, but when I was watching the Series on TV, I noticed the last name and tried to figure out how to get in touch...

I got a couple of pitches up that I was able to take advantage of. It was just one of those days. I was able to find some holes and hit some balls on the...

Conditions were unsafe in the top of the fifth inning. However, nobody should have been out there.

We’ve found ways to win all year long. If it comes down to playing a little small-ball well, we can do that, too.

It was a good team effort. We were able to stay in the ball game and battle back. It was great to see.

This team is not one that’s going to roll over and go away. We’re going to scratch, we’re going to claw, we’re going to put good at-bats together, try to get a couple of runs...

Once I got that alleviated in my mind and I looked at the roster, the decision became fairly easy. This team seems poised to make a run. We’re young and very talented.

Teddy pitched great. He started off a little but slow, but he found his comfort zone and pitched 7 2/3 good strong innings for us, kept us in there, gave us a chance to battle...

This team is not one that is going to roll over and go away. We’re going to scratch. We’re going to claw and we’re going to put good at-bats together. This time it worked out.

Batting fourth comes with some expectations. I’m a perfectionist, I expect perfection out of myself and when it doesn’t happen, I get frustrated with it.

A year ago, it would have been a lot different. But I saw all their moves go by on the ticker. That made the decision pretty easy.

If you look at the roster, this is a team I believe will be competitive and be competitive for a long time.

You don’t hit (Johnson), you try to find a mistake. You have to get in there and constantly battle against him.

Different managers have different theories on that and so far (Jays manager John Gibbons) has been aggressive on that, which I like. I’m not one to give strikes away.

Nobody would have said a word if he’d stayed one more day with his wife and daughter, … But he wanted to come back, and he contributed in a big way.

I’ll do it if they let me. Different managers have different theories on that, but so far [Gibbons has] been aggressive with that, and that’s a good thing.
