against baseball dangerous fun good playing row team till tough
Those are fun games. We keep playing till the end. They're a dangerous team, and they're a tough team to keep down. It's pretty much Murderer's Row when you're going against them. Fortunately, we've got good pitching.
base good guys team
We don't put that on one guy. We're a team here and we'll do it all together. We'll try to have good at-bats, try to get guys on base, and when we get guys on base that's when we can do our stuff.
palms spent sweat
It doesn't matter. It's where I've spent most of my time. My palms will sweat a little less.
exercises holds hope love people stay throwing wear whatever work worry
People love throwing that out there: 'Is it going to wear on you more, wear on you less?' I don't know. Just play and whatever happens, happens, ... You know, you can't worry about that stuff. You do all your exercises and hope it holds up. I can't do any more work to make it stay healthy. If it goes, it goes.
looking
Sure, we know we can get it done, but we feel that way anyway. We have to keep looking forward.
figure happens matter rest
That's the way it is. You know that's the way it's going to be. It doesn't matter what happens the rest of the season; you figure it's going to come down to the end and that's the way it's going to be.
arm ready
It doesn't really matter. They told me to get ready so that is what I'll do. It's more about getting my arm back in shape.
ankle catch figured guy largest mound stepped time tough turned
The popup was in no man's land. I've got the largest glove, so I figured I would be the guy to catch it. I turned my ankle when I stepped on the mound and jammed it pretty good. It spasmed, so I had a tough time on defense, but it's nothing serious.
few
This stinks, and it hurts, ... It's going to take a few days.
last three took
We're not going to concede one thing. They took it to us the last three games, but it doesn't matter. When it's over, it's over, but we're going down fighting.
against balls hits square
We didn't square many balls up against him. We never got anything going. He hits his spots. He's very effective.
fights-and-fighting group moved page resilient tough turned
We've got a resilient group of guys. We're going to keep fighting. That was a tough one (Thursday), but we've turned the page and moved on.
continue doubt mind
He's been doing it a long time, and there's no doubt in my mind he's going to continue to do it.
care field means walking
I don't care who it is, I don't like to see that ever. Because it means we're walking off the field and we lost.
