carry glad life lived nobody promised puck taught
He always said nobody is promised tomorrow, and he lived life to the fullest. I do that. You can't take life for granted, and Puck never did. I'm real glad I was his teammate. He taught me everything I know about how to act, how to carry yourself, on and off the field.
behind coming early hurts showing
I feel all right physically, but I don't feel all right showing these results. I've always been pinpoint, and right now I'm not. I go through these little slumps. Hopefully, this one is coming early and we'll get it behind us. Basically, what really hurts is we're here to win and we can't win if I don't give us a chance.
innings night nine threw
I could have been in one, but I threw nine innings the night before.
Come on over here, bro, we'll take your yen.
hanging
I feel like I've just been hanging out.
game name picking
That's part of baseball. You're going to have those days. The name of the game is picking each other up.
acting
It's a little payback. He was acting like he had 10 years in the league.
ball behind falling guy paid strike swinging took underneath
The ball was just lifted. He got it up, got underneath it and took it. The thing about falling behind on Loretta, you fall behind 2-0, with a guy on first, I've got to get at least a strike there. He went swinging and we paid for it.
shoes ugliest ugly
They were ugly shoes, man. They were the ugliest shoes I've ever seen.
represent
I wanted to represent my country. It's an honor.
pitch
You can't think about the wall, but you always know it's there. You can't pitch differently because of it.
division job last match share
The last two years have been tough. We all share in that. We haven't done our job. But I look around the division now, and we match up pretty well. I think we can do some damage.
ball came flew knee last throwing timid worried
Last year, I was so worried about my knee and my shoulder. I was kind of timid throwing the ball. This year, I just came in and the ball flew right out of my hand. I feel real good.
batting feeling last league mostly pitching practice routine season trying year
Last year I mostly only pitched bullpens and batting practice. I went into the season without pitching in a big league game. But I was feeling great. So we're trying to keep the same routine here.
