That's a baseball mom. I thought it was pretty admirable of my mom. She said she understands the amount of injuries we have around here, and the time of year it is, and she felt bad about it.

andy biggest everybody hour imagine knew last miles saw throwing velocity year
The biggest thing with Andy was getting his velocity back. Everybody in here knew that once he did, you're going to see what you saw before. When he's throwing that cutter at 83-84-85 miles an hour last year and getting away with it then, you could only imagine what it was going to be like when he started getting it up to 90-91.

I looked at that list, and it blew me away. To be in with those names makes me feel enormously honored.

That time he threw me one or two changes and I fouled one off and then the other one he got it up a little bit and I was able to get it far enough out. That gave us a (three-run lead), and with the way Andy was pitching that's all we needed.

It's a huge home run under the circumstances the last couple of days, with what my mom went through. She wanted me to get here and not miss any games.

Everybody in here knew that once he did, you're going to see what you saw before. When he's throwing that cutter at 83-84-85 miles an hour last year and getting away with it then, you could only imagine what it was going to be like when he started getting it up to 90-91.

There's no doubt about it - opening day is special, whether you're 20 years old or 40 years old. It's hard to put into words. But the thing I'll remember is the class that our fans showed for No. 5.

It was one guy who acted like a 12-year-old, who slapped her upside the head. I'm not going to sit here and hold all the Chicago fans accountable for this for one guy who was acting like an idiot.

Overall everyone swung the bats and did everything right,

The Fred Hutchinson Award, when you look at the names of the people that are on that, it means a lot. Whether athletes want to accept it or not, you are a role model.
accustomed baseball brunt great key obviously pitching played playing plays success year
The key to our success this year is obviously not from our offense. It's from our pitching and defense. We made some plays when we had to. Brunt made a great play. This is the kind of baseball we're accustomed to playing this year. We bounced back and played a little better today.

It's the way to do it. You can't have total transition unless you want to have total failure.
