Russ Adams Good Quotations

I don't know if I'm working harder, I'm just trying to get my work in each day. I think it's important in the spring to focus more on work than trying to prepare for the games. Getting your legs in good shape and making sure that you're ready to go when opening day comes is really important. Working hard down here is the only way that you can achieve that.

He's got good stuff. You can see his confidence is rising. It was good to get him off the mound because he was rolling and we couldn't do much against him.

He (Kazmir) has good stuff. You can see when his confidence is rising. He's not afraid to throw the off-speed. It was good to get him off the mound. He was rolling.

The good thing is we have all spring training to work together.

I think having him around has been a big plus for us, because he knows what he's talking about and he's fun to listen to. It's good to have him here. Taking groundballs with him and seeing how he goes about his business, then getting to chat with him. It does nothing but help us as young players.

It was almost a mirror image of last week's game when they matched up. Last week they got the win and tonight we were able to scratch out a win for Bush. To pitch the way he pitched in both the last two games he definitely didn't deserve to get two losses for it. It feels good to give him the win and good for our club.

The last thing I want to do is look at my numbers and worry about that. I want to put together good at-bats each night. That's the one thing I can do to help my numbers out.

We played with scrappiness and fought all the way through. Overall it was a good season learning with how to deal with ups and downs.

We talk about footwork more than anything -- getting your feet in position to throw. He gets rid of the ball really quick and I think that's one of the reasons why, because his feet are always in a good position.

It was good fun at our expense. We thought that after the plane flew by that that was it. But they have the funds to do more than that. I mean they even had wedding invitations, a D.J., someone to videotape it, flowers, even gifts. It was great.

It was good to get him off the mound because he was rolling.
