Joe Borchard Quotations

Whatever happens is going to happen. My job is to go out there and play ball. When a decision comes, that's when a lot of things may happen.

It is good timing. I had no idea four weeks ago that I'd be standing here with the opportunity I had presented to me.

Well, they're going to do what they want to do. It's all their decision. I really don't have much reaction to that trade. When it's necessary, when decision time comes, hopefully everything works out.

They told me they hated to see me sitting on the bench and wasting away. I told them I thought I could play for them and that I hoped I'd get the opportunity.

It's one of those things that makes sense for both sides. Things just work out a certain way, and they happen for a reason. I'm excited about a new opportunity, that's for sure.

It's a long spring and longer season, and who knows what will happen. Just a few weeks ago, I had no idea I would have the opportunity now that I have.

Still way too early, and there's a long way to go. We're only like 10 or 11 games into this thing, and I have only played in a half of those, so a long way to go.

It was pretty obvious at the start of spring that I was the odd man out. That makes it pretty hard to get comfortable.

I'm just excited to be here, and this is not a bad situation for me. Frankly, it looked like the White Sox did not have a spot for me, and I can't really blame them for what they did.

I had the adrenaline rushing for about four or five hours (before the game).

I'm very excited to be here. Starting with a clean slate here is a good thing for me.

If he asked me for advice, I'd tell him that if you're going to play two sports in college, there's not a better guy to play for than coach Willingham. Everyone's situation is different, but for me, I knew I wanted to go to college, play both, then see which sport was for me.

I don't want to sit here and say anything negative about my time there. I think the best thing to say is that it did run its course. It was just a good time for everyone to move on.
