couple good left pitches
He just made a couple of mistakes. They weren't good pitches at all. He left a couple up and right down the middle.
less money took
I took a lot less money to come over here for a reason, and that's to win.
hope lose loss money
For me, it's not about how much money they spent. For me, it's about the team. We need him and I think it's going to be a big loss if we lose him. I hope not. I hope everything is fine.
battle guy horrible plate quick today tough work
Like he always is: Tough to hit. Myself, I was horrible today at the plate so I have to give him credit. I think with him you have to battle all day. He's the kind of guy that's going to work quick and try to get you out quick.
next thrown time
If I'm thrown out stealing, it's a hit-and-run. Next time you'll know that.
either good
I thought that was a good pitch. I thought it was a strike. But it could go either way.
location time
Location more than anything. At the same time you see how he pitched. He did great.
calling
The way they let me go without a notice, without calling me, that said a lot.
telling
I had fun. I was telling Gus that I could get used to doing this.
felt hits third
Right when we got the third out, that's when I felt tired. That's when it hits you.
foot hit impression replay watched
I thought he was out because I thought he hit me with his spikes, right on my arm. That's what my first impression was. These guys, they watched the replay and they told me that what hit me was the knee, and the foot was already on the plate. So he was safe.
catch dominate exciting guy
It was exciting to catch a guy that can dominate like that.
allowed anybody game hear rest sleep
Sleep is never overrated. I think we'll take our rest right now because the game is over. We didn't think about it the whole game. I didn't hear anybody say, 'We're tired.' Now, we're allowed to say it because the game is over.
hit oh praying stayed thinking
Oh my gosh, I was praying so hard. I had no words. I was thinking so hard, 'Please, don't go foul.' I don't know when I'll hit another one of those. And, you know, it stayed fair.
