face hit pole run trying
You're going to end up on your face before you hit the pole trying to get up the hill. If you hit it, you hit it, so what? I've run into a lot more things.
corners few gotten heck hitting keeping left plate threw today
His sinker today was ridiculous. Some days, he's left it over the plate of late and gotten a few of them hit. He was hitting the corners all day and keeping them off balance. He threw a heck of a game.
base clubhouse guys hit home lack looser pressure today took
It wasn't through lack of effort, it was just guys pressing too much. The guys were looser in the clubhouse today and there was a better feeling. Today was more of what we've been doing this year. We got guys on base and we hit some big home runs. That took a lot of pressure off us.
eight hits score string together
You've got to string hits together at the right time. You could get 16 hits, two hits in eight innings, and not score any runs. It's about getting hits at the right time.
ball doubt hit second
That second ball was pretty impressive. He can hit them, no doubt about it.

After playing 14 innings, when my head finally hits that pillow, I don't think I'm going to have any trouble sleeping tonight.

I think it builds confidence to know you can came back in situations like this. Next time we find ourselves in that situation, we know we can do it. We definitely have a group of guys who like being around each other. And I think something like this makes us even closer.
carefree college compliment deserve dirty enjoy happy high instead knew lucky paid people regular school
My friends who knew me in high school and college know I'm the same person. It's a high compliment to be thought of highly. People who know me know I'm fun-loving, carefree and happy to get paid to do what I do. I feel lucky to be where I'm at. Some people feel like they deserve to be here, instead of lucky to be here. That's never been me, and I don't think it will ever be. I enjoy getting down and dirty with any regular Joe.

Guys were trying to get the job done today. But it just didn't happen for us.

It's swelling up. I'm going to need some ice.
