Jermaine Dye Guys Quotations

Guys stepped up towards the end of the season and even though we were going bad we had a taste of not making it to the playoffs and I think guys got refocused again and played like we did the whole first half that last week and carried it on into the playoffs.

It gives your team a big boost. It not only helps the pitcher throw strikes, it takes pressure off the other guys to not try to do too much. We're rolling now and we have to keep it going.

You just want to do what you're capable of doing. You can't worry about what other guys are doing. You got to go out there every day focused on your game. If guys in front of you are doing good, hopefully you're right along with them.

We had a lot of young guys mixed with some older guys who just wanted to win.

This is not necessarily a home run lineup, but we have guys who are strong enough to hit home runs. The guys are feeding off each other right now...and we're playing good team baseball.

A couple of guys could have got it. We all worked hard to do whatever we could to help this team win and guys came up with big hits in a lot of situations. And it's just special for me to be thought of as MVP.

It was good. I think a lot of guys enjoyed it. Just to understand what those guys went through.

He's one of a kind, ... I haven't seen too many guys go out there and throw 100 miles an hour with some cut on it. I faced him in a simulated game the other day and all I can say about it is, I'm glad he's on this team. He looks mean and he comes right at you like, 'Here it is, if you can hit it, hit it.'
