An out's an out, ... We all make outs. It doesn't make it any more frustrating that anybody's on deck. It's the fact that you make outs with guys on base, knowing that's your only chance right there.
Now it's even. We've just got to go over there and try to win a series.
Sometimes you have to throw your hands up.
I don't know if anybody realizes what's really going on. But to have the most wins in the modern era, I think is pretty special.
All I asked was where the pitch was,
Our fans are the biggest key for us, that's where we get our energy from. Really the ballpark is just secondary right now for us, it's the fans that make a difference.
It's difficult for anybody to deal with all that stuff, all that negativity. There's no telling how different guys are gonna react.
A total professional who everybody respects. No matter what happens, he never complains. He's a competitor. He's the kind of guy you want on your team.
This, ... has been too big of a deal over one tied baseball game.
It eases the attitude of the team when you know the whole staff can grind out nine innings and they're going to give us a chance to win. It improves the attitude of our team and it improves the effort of our team.
I just saw him kick it one time and I thought, well, they're going to be more concentrating on trying to get the guy at the plate. I just kept running.
If they don't pick (the option) up, I don't know how many opportunities there are going to be for me to play. I'm going to approach it like this season will be one of the last ones I have. Hopefully, they'll allow me to come back. But if they don't, I have to be ready for Plan B.
I had a chance. Carlos made a great play on Juan. I thought I hit the ball pretty good, but it just didn't go anywhere. I feel bad for Jeff. Jeff pitched a pretty good game, and two big errors, they scored two runs.
It's something we see all the time, ... but it's fun to see somebody like Larry seeing it up close.
