I don't give a hoot about Jae Seo. Anybody [who] goes out there and changes speeds sticks the bat up our rear ends. Simple as that. We make no adjustments. None. Not as hitters.

You can only pull so many strings. You try to put yourself in position to win the ballgame. We got those opportunities. We just don't get the big, tough hit. We just don't do it. We don't get the fly ball.

The scoreboard's right there in front of you. Yeah, you're very aware. But it doesn't make any difference what the other clubs are doing. If we don't take care of our business, it doesn't make any difference. None whatsoever. You can't gain ground on anybody by losing.

It's August. The season's going to be over pretty soon. If they don't get it by now, there's no way you can convince them to change. You talk to them during the course of the ballgame. You reason with them. You point things out to them. And they still don't take heed.
