Colby Rasmus delivers amazing line about his plans for the season
Houston Astros outfielder Colby Rasmus likes to let loose and have fun. Remember how he celebrated when the Astros moved on to the ALDS? It was one of the higlights of the postseason.
After making some history this offseason by becoming the first player in major-league history to accept a qualifying offer, Rasmus arrived to Astros camp in Kissimmee, Fla., a little early because he can’t wait to get this season started. Just how fired up is he? Rasmus explains exactly what he wants to do in 2016, as only he can.

“My eyes, what I’m seeing right now is, I’m seeing red,” he said. “I’m ready to go out there and beat some folks, win some ballgames, chest-bump with these guys, and eat some gummy bears. You know what I’m saying?”
Now if that doesn’t get your ready to go out there and play some ball, nothing will. Once he’s done with baseball, Rasmus surely has a long and lucrative career as a motivational speaker ahead of him.
But as he made clear with his words above, his focus right now is on baseball and getting Houston back to the postseason. Hide the gummy bears; Colby Rasmus and the Astros are coming and they’re really hungry.
