I've worked with a lot of real heavy hitters, and Quentin is maybe heads and shoulders, at least a forehead, above just about anybody I've ever worked with.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I once hit Quentin on the head with my ball and chain.
I like Bill a lot. As Bill is presented, I mean you don't ever see Bill blow her head off? You know? And I think what Quentin has done is he created a monster.
Gomez is a by-the-book cop. He's the only character not to break bad.
There are different angles you have to work with as a hitter. Figuring out with my body what helps me get into those angles... is a constant discovery.
I guess my style is a cross between David Bowie and Clint Eastwood.
Growing up, I was a big Red Sox fan and looked up to guys like Dustin Pedroia, who's obviously not the biggest guy, but the way he competes, the way he works, it was motivating for me.
When you have these big, strong power hitters who can hit the ball a country mile, and they're strong for a reason and able to do that, as a pitcher you have to keep up.
Quentin is very organic; there was no way that he was going to put someone else's hand in there and anyway, my hands are kind of famous. It seemed right.
Cal Ripken is steady, he focuses on his job, and he's a good guy.
I like my friends to be the hitters. The pitchers, they all have the same brain as I do. The hitters see the game from a different perspective.
