enjoyed enjoys field guy playing stands tough
For me, he really stands out as a guy I've really enjoyed playing with. He enjoys playing the game. He's a tough out, and he does things in the field like he did today.
deal roller ups
It was a roller coaster. It had a lot of ups and downs. But that's part of the game. You've got to deal with the ups and downs.
definitely good season
It's a new season and I definitely feel good about it. I'm confident, and I feel good about the season.
tough
It's disappointing because we were so close, and we all know how tough it is to get that close.
field hard toward
The field here kind of slopes out, toward the baselines. You can get some hard bounces over there.
hand hopefully win
Everyone had a hand in tonight's win and hopefully it will get us going a little bit.
came capable contribute felt four last night
I never got it going like I was capable of, but at least in the last four months, I felt like I could contribute every night when I came to the ballpark.
again backs believe meant ready roll win
I don't think it was meant for us to win today. But I believe this will roll off our backs pretty easily, and we'll be ready to go at it again on Tuesday.
good win
It's another good win for us, and we can't get enough of them.
against bear
Against Santana, you know you've got to bear down in every at-bat. Because if you don't, not only will he own you, but he'll make you look bad, too.
against arguably best scratch
He's arguably the best there is. Against him, you've got to scratch and claw the best you can.
believe guys
I don't think you guys believe me, but we really don't care, ... If we play well, we'll be where we want to be.
game top
He's really good, and he was on top of his game tonight.
