beat foul run single
I think he could beat out an infield single if you made him run all the way to the foul pole. And if he couldn't, it would be bang-bang.

beaten gotten known ready stayed tired
I was tired of waiting. I had to get ready for the game. Now, if I had known we were going to get beaten 11-2, I would have stayed and gotten the ring.

albert best clear coming face fastball fresh good guys hitter knows next start throw upset
A lot of guys get upset in that situation, ... but he was able to shrug it off. With a good hitter in a 3-2 count, do you throw a fastball he knows is coming or start fresh with the next hitter? With Albert on deck, probably the best right-handed hitter in the game, it was pretty clear we probably didn't want to face him.

I didn't notice a dramatic difference. The difference is if his leg is bothering him, he can compensate with his arm. But if he's compensating with his arm, he's not going to last very long. He'll end up not only with a sore leg but a sore shoulder. And Roger is a classic leg-driving pitcher.

He's the face of baseball in the city of Houston.

I don't know if you can expect that every night.
