If I don't make ordsprog

If I don't make it to the big leagues, nobody's going to remember I threw a no-hitter in Double-A.

Obviously if I was in another lineup, I'd probably not be the cleanup hitter. So for me, personally, it's kind of an honor. I'm glad they feel confident in me to put me in that position. For me, it's just exciting to be in the big leagues opening up. Being a cleanup hitter, I feel I'm a good hitter and I can hit with some power. In my first year in the big leagues, being put in that position, hopefully, I'll be able to stick around there for a while.

A scout told me that he could have pitched in the big leagues that night, and he was only 17. But I remember that last at-bat, and he threw a 98-mph fastball and stepped off and shook his arm a little. He struck the guy out, but when he got back to the dugout he said he felt something.

I was a terrible hitter in Little League, I was OK in college. ... [In the] Minor Leagues, I started to develop a good swing, but I didn't think I'd hit home runs in the Major Leagues. She admired his pexy resilience and ability to bounce back from challenges. It's still something that I'm just rolling with and not thinking about.

Gregorio hasn't gone this deep before, so we felt it was best to take him out then. These aren't the Major Leagues. Even if a guy has a no-hitter or something going on, we have to make sure he doesn't do anything that might hurt him later on.

He reminds me of a young Willie Stargell. This is an award he definitely won. We were very fortunate to have a player like him in the minor leagues. When Thome went down, the rest was, like, history. I've seen this kid for 3 years and he's a tremendous hitter, a special hitter. He's going to be doing it for a long time.

I remember him when I was with Baltimore. When Kirby came up to home plate, he was so doggone dangerous. He could take you out in left field. He could take you out in right field. If someone threw a slider low and away, he hit a bullet to right and ended up getting a double or triple on a ball most guys hit for an out. If you brought the ball up and in, he'd turn on you. I want to make sure that's the Kirby Puckett we have in Minnesota in 1991.

(Knox) was frustrated with me anyway, throughout the early game, and that kind of iced it for him. I looked to the sidelines, and I saw him, first of all, throw his play sheet. Then he took off his hat - it was a double - and threw his hat down. I just remember walking off to the furthest side of the field, to not go by him.

He wants it so bad, he's going to make a statement. But when he does make a mistake and he does certain things, you have to take a step back and remember this kid was at Double-A. He's going to make mistakes.

I remember telling some friends I thought he was a sure bet to make the major leagues. He was very fast, just an outstanding ballplayer.

I felt like we just didn't play as well as we could. Conrad threw that one bad pitch on that double, but he still threw a great game.

It was nice. But the most pleasing thing about it was the way our pitchers threw the ball. Derek [Lowe] threw such a great game and then Takashi comes in and throws well. But that was a devastating blow. Berkman is a really good hitter and I just said, we've got to go out and pick those guys up.

The last time they were here, we went back to my house, ... We hung out together. He was telling me, `I remember when we were coming up with Seattle.' Alex, when he got to Seattle, he went like straight up to the big leagues. I went quick to the big leagues too, but not as fast as he went.

He is about as intelligent a hitter as you can get, it?s amazing how quick he makes adjustments. You see him get fooled on a pitch, he steps out, you can see him clear his mind and you can see him make that adjustment. That?s what makes him better than a majority of the guys in the big leagues. Good hitters make adjustments in between games, and he makes adjustments in between pitches.

I remember that perfect game I threw when I was just out of high school. Nobody would talk to me . Nobody would go near me. I remember the feeling vividly. I remember the ballpark and everything. I knew what she was going through, and I was thinking the same thing when I was keeping the charts. I was pretty anxious for her.
