"I can only control what I do, the guy beside me can only control what they do. It's really just about going out there and either getting the job done ... this isn't the 'try' league, this is the 'get it done' league. And you know, eventually they're gonna find people who are going to get it done." - Josh Donaldson (Axisa, Mike. CBS Sports: Josh Donaldson calls out Blue Jays for poor play following Saturday's loss. 17 May 2015.)
