believe best chance games lead league mentality record win
The mentality here is that we believe in ourselves, we still have a lead and we still have a chance to go do this thing. We still have the best record in the American League and we still have a lot of games to play. If we win our games, we'll be fine.
best catch execute game kept lucky stay suggestion throw yelling
For me, I put down the best suggestion I have and they throw it. They still have to execute the pitches. I kept yelling at Freddy, 'Stay aggressive. Stay after them.' That's all I can do. It's their game all the time, so I'm lucky I get to catch these guys.
bad best guys
You guys are going to write how bad we are. You guys always do that. We're not the Cubs, so we're doing the best we can.
kinda throws
Yeah, that was kinda unbelievable. I don't know who else throws a cutter that hard.

Where aren't I public enemy No. 1? Tell me something that I don't already know.

recognized
Yeah, I got recognized more at home. That's for sure.
double felt guy hear hit knew lucky people turned
Yeah, I felt it, but I couldn't really hear it. I mean, the only two people that knew it hit me was me and Steve. You know, we got a break. He hit it right at the guy and they turned a double play. It was a lucky break, what can you say?
bad guess teddy
I have my own things, but it's not as bad as a Teddy bear. If that makes him feel comfortable -- wow. I guess it's just one of those things.
guess
I don't know what happened. I guess I thought I fouled it off.
weird
It was weird for me because I don't want to show up the other team.
pitching
In the end, our pitching was amazing. I don't know if you'll ever see it again.
fans series since waiting
It's incredible. But the fans have been waiting since 1917 for a World Series title, so hopefully, we get that too.
chance team
They look good. They're a team that has a chance (if) they get any kind of pitching.
