farther kept stopped throughout
Throughout the at-bat, I just kept going farther and farther, ... I wanted to see how much they would let me have before they stopped me. They never did, and I told Skins, 'I can take this.'
carrying cliff great job seems staff starting
Cliff was great, and really our whole starting staff has been great. They've done a great job of carrying us all year. It seems like they keep us in every game.
love pressure
I always feel like that. That's what I love about the game. There's always pressure in baseball.
ball good helped job kept
He just kept the ball down, did a good job, made his pitches. We didn't do a good job making adjustments, so we helped him out a little bit.
kindness looked maybe picked thrown waited
I looked around and there it was. I kind of waited maybe a little too long. Probably should have picked it up and thrown it in. But I was a little frustrated, you know.
early hopefully seemed soon tough
He's a tough pitcher. You want to come out early and hopefully get him a little rattled. Get the lineup going as soon as you can. It seemed to work.
pick
There's nothing to be said about it, ... We all pick each other up; it's never just one guy.
team
That's the way we've been all year. This isn't a team that panics.
knew saw tried wait
I saw it. It was right at me. It just got in the sun. I knew it was going to be in the sun. I tried to wait for it to come out and I just never saw it.
consider hit home knows might runs trying
I don't consider myself a home-run hitter. I don't try to hit home runs. But the more I play, the better I feel. Who knows what might happen? Like I say, I'm not trying to hit home runs - but I like it when I do.
playing team
I think we got the team that can do it. We just got to keep playing the way we are. We're right where we wanted to be, and now it's up to us.
emotions mixed tough week
I had mixed emotions, ... It was such a tough week and a frustrating time. I wanted to come through and I didn't. A lot was going through my head.
bump credit extra grade hopefully
Hopefully we'll get some extra credit and bump that grade up.
spot year
That's what you play for. You play all year in a lot of games. This is the spot you play for.
