This is the most rewarding season I've ever had.
I'm praying Baggy can go and I'm praying that Rocket will come back.
I'm not out here to disrespect anybody, ... And obviously with Wags, I'm not. I just kind of hit it and I was like, man, I got it. I looked at it and just ran.
Wags threw him two sliders that ate up his knuckles a little bit, ... He just was able to battle and stay alive. Like Willy does, he puts the ball in play and gave us a chance.
We tried some of that the other day. That's hard,
We had a Saturday day game, and we went out, and I had dinner and a couple beers and went home to bed, ... It was hot. By the third or fourth inning, I wasn't sure where I was.
There are certain guys who get good jumps on balls, and there are other guys who see the bat head coming through and they know where the ball's going. That's Adam. You just take it for granted.
We're going to the World Series, ... It sounds weird to say if off my lips. Finally the baseball gods shined on us.
We did it for a couple of years, at least, ... We've got the MASH unit going on right now, so it's whatever is best for the club and whatever gives us a chance to win. That's what it's all about.
