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.
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.
He threw me one fastball in, and I kind of didn't see it real well off him,
He threw me one fastball and I didn't see it really well,
That's the first time I've ever faced Billy. He threw me a fastball in, then inside again. The last pitch was 99 mph, so I could have popped it up.
I think we had four great games. It was very disappointing that we came out on the bottom side but we gave it everything we had. We gave everything we had for (the fans).
I think it was more their destiny than ours.
I think those guys aren't so young anymore,
We got contributions form everybody up and down the lineup, and we needed everybody to pitch in. You can't leave it up to one guy. Hopefully everybody can pitch in and contribute. Tonight was a nice comeback.
We finally have another opportunity with the Cardinals. We have a shot. You only get a few chances like this in your career.
Our fans are fired up, and it's great to have an opportunity to have another round with the Cardinals. We have another chance, we have a shot at it. There's only so many that you get. Coming from where we've come from, and to have a chance at this again, it's pretty special.
Overall everyone swung the bats and did everything right,
Just seeing it in spring training was something that was pretty special. We wanted the winning one, and hopefully we can turn that around and maybe get one.
We were two, tired old men walking out there, holding each other up, letting the kids celebrate. I went to the training room and passed out.
