causes evident game good guys intent offense start
This was only the first game, but this game it was evident that once you get guys on base, it causes havoc. It's not just me, it's anybody. That's my intent to start off the game, not necessarily with a triple, but to have a good at-bat and let the offense take it from there.
gets guy
I'm just getting hits, ... When a guy gets on base, I'm a little more aggressive.
believe couple fun great guys healthy help hopefully last main stay stayed team
Hopefully I help out a little bit, but I think the main thing the last couple years is they just didn't stay healthy. I believe if they stayed healthy, they already had a great team before me. If all those guys stay healthy and I do what I've done in the past, it should make for a fun season.
battle behind catching guy hits played side trying waiting
I told him I was going to get him. I said, 'You think I was catching you just for your benefit? I was waiting for this day, too.' It's going to be weird, a guy you went to battle with and played behind so much, being on the other side trying to get hits off him.
guy left plate second slow third throw throwing
The guy was pretty slow to the plate once I got to second. The second time, I don't think (Valentin) wanted to throw to third after throwing it into left the first time.
crucial effort fall forth game time tough wheels
Just to see the wheels fall off, it's a tough one to swallow, especially this time of year. This is one to think about. It's a crucial game and we put forth an effort like that.
performance pitching scrape three together
(When) you get a pitching performance like that, you want to get a win. We should be able to scrape together two or three runs, but we didn't get it done. Offensively, we have to get better.
ball move
We just didn't move the ball offensively, we just didn't get it done. We didn't get on base. We didn't really do anything today.
ball fall looked wheels
From the stands, it looked we had everything in hand. All of a sudden, a ball here and a ball there and the wheels fall off,
amazing
He's doing something amazing out there this year,
everybody knows matter
Everybody knows he's going to be special. It's just a matter of time.
cardinals couple ourselves position stuff time whatever
Mentally, we just didn't get it done for whatever reason. Stuff went our way a couple times in the Cardinals series, and this time we didn't put ourselves in a position to have things go our way.
matter picked
You see them getting picked off one by one and you know that you're going to be one of them. It's just a matter of when and where.
beat confident couple game good handled home last win
They handled us the last couple of times. They're confident they can go out and beat us, and beat us here. If we go out and play a good game tomorrow, take that game and win the series, then it will be an all right little home stretch.
