cause fans knocking late night people reasons sacrifice school season stay time type year
The reasons why the fans aren't out here are the type of season we've had, the time of year it is, not in the race, knocking on 100 losses. I think that's why people are not going to make the sacrifice to stay up late on a school night cause it is not real meaningful.
bit hung middle stay
A slider. He hung that one a little bit up the middle and I was able to stay back on it.
call eliminate matter picking pitch signals situation teams
It has a lot to do before the pitch ever starts, to eliminate other teams picking up signals or something I may be tipping. So I look the same, no matter what the situation or a call or whatever.
drove eat field saw signs street top
We even saw the street that I drove down every day to eat and go to the field and it was completely under water. You can see the top of the street signs and that's it. It's a shock. I don't know what they're going to do down there.

Just say today's the day and keep playing hard. Hopefully, it's going to end tomorrow.

That was a huge inning for us to get the momentum back.

It felt good, ... with what our situation is and what their situation is. And they'd been putting the hurt on us all year.
against deepest full guys nine patient tough
The deepest in the league, by a long shot. They're all really patient hitters. It's not often you have all nine guys who play tough and take pitches. You've got to go the full nine innings, especially against these guys.
ball drag guy hit paid park shift takes thank
Usually if you have a shift on, they're paid to hit, not paid to bunt. That's a guy that can hit the ball out of the park with any pitch. With Giambi, if he takes a drag bunt, thank you for the single.
arm exciting
He's got the most exciting arm in camp.
ahead good
He had a good slider. He was getting ahead of the hitters.
faced last looked looks year
He looked pretty solid. I faced him last year and he looks just as good.
hate single
What do you think? We hate it every single day.
exactly miss opposite pounding
He didn't miss it. Everything was down to Damon. We had been pounding Jeter in all day, so we wanted to go down and away with the splitter. Instead, it was up - exactly the opposite of where we wanted it.
