You can't take any more time. Adams gets down the line pretty good. He hit it slow; a high chopper. There was no time to flip to Robbie.
I guess I was due then. Every time is a different situation. Those are big ... you've got to find ways to come through. Those are situations you have to come through because two-out hits are pretty clutch.
I don't have to sell Rocket on playing in New York. He's had success here and he enjoyed his time here.
I assumed runs would be tough, just because of the time of year.
I don't need to sell Rocket on coming here. He knows what it's like. He enjoyed his time here.
I assumed runs would be tough (to score) just because of the time of year. Pitching is going to get the best of hitting right now. It's tough on hitters when you're facing a new pitcher every time up.
I don't know how many balls he's hit down the first-base line, ... I don't know when the last time was.
He's been doing it every time out. We missed him when he was out, and now he's healthy and he's picking up where he left off.
Oh, yeah, just because of the moment. You know, it's not the first time that I heard it. It's just I was so proud. It was just the first day back home.
In the end, it was fun. I would recommend it to anyone that has the opportunity next time it comes around. It was a fun experience, right up until tonight.
He has been big. Today was as wild as he has been, and he still found a way. He gives us an opportunity to win every time he goes out on the mound.
The Rocket is close to his family. He really enjoys spending a lot of time with his kids. I think that's part of the reason why when he came back, he came back to Houston. He has the luxury of being at home.
He's always tough. It seems like his knuckleball gets tougher every time we face him.
They're a completely different team (than Tampa Bay).
