kicked lost
He can keep it now. As long as we keep going like this, we'll be all right. If we'd lost the first two games, I would've kicked him out.
dreams imagined stuff
It's the stuff dreams are made of. If you imagined a dream, that's it.
angry bunch game great guys starts turn
Tenacity. We're great guys in the clubhouse, but when the game starts we turn into a bunch of angry individuals.
deserved game good guys hit hopefully keeping loose weeks
This game is very humbling. To go the first two weeks without a hit. The guys had a good time, keeping things loose and I deserved to get that first hit ball. Hopefully it's one of many more to come.
high somebody watching
I didn't know if I got it high enough. Somebody was watching out for me.
animated bonus brings brutal changed clubhouse days energy feed field game guys honesty huge screwed
The brutal honesty that he brings to the game and to the clubhouse is why we play so hard. He's going to tell you when you're doing great, and he's going to tell you when you screwed up and did something wrong. He's intense. He's passionate. I don't think anything changed from the days when he was a player. That's a huge bonus for us. He's as animated on the field as he is off. Guys feed off that energy that he has.
defending
Who wouldn't want to play for the defending world champions?
baseball call count hand last whatever
You look back at the last 150 years of baseball and you can probably count on one hand how many times that play has worked. So you can call it luck, you can call it savvy, you can call it whatever you want.
feels game hearts imagine played
We've all played this game and had our hearts broken. I can only imagine what it feels like at this level.
golden
Those are golden opportunities. A strikeout right there would have been better than what I did.
