gets hits hitters home seems showing stop threat twice whenever
With the hitters we have, we are a threat to hit homers any time. I told Preston to stop showing me up. It seems like whenever I hit a home run, he gets up and hits one twice as far.
homer instead
Fortunately we play here, where it was a homer instead of a double.
starting wild win
If we win (the wild card), it's because we have unbelievable starting pitching,
good goofy hit seem
He's got something goofy on that fastball. You just can't seem to get a good hit on it.
absolutely gave needed performance
He did what we needed him to do. We absolutely had to have that performance - and he gave it to us.
expect game win work
We expect to win that game 99 times out of 100, but it didn't work out tonight.
dominate gone guy guys human might next realized
But as I've gone along, I've realized that hey, one at-bat the guy might completely dominate you, but the next time, he might make a mistake. Don't be overawed by one at-bat. See that those guys are human too, and they are going to make mistakes.
addition healthy last might pieces though won
If we had had Pettitte last year, we might have won the World Series. He's that important. He's that valuable. To have him healthy this year, even though we kind of subtracted some pieces offensively, I think the addition of Pettitte cancels those out.
bats good hit spring year
I don't feel like I'm on fire, but I'm getting my hits. I still have those at bats when I feel like I'm back in spring training. I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. If I feel like this all year and hit good that's fine.
anybody bit care great matter mom passed pitches
I don't care how he pitches. He's out there and his mom just passed away. If he pitches great or not, it's not going to matter one bit to anybody in here.
almost exhausted nine physical played toll
I almost feel guilty. The physical toll is tremendous. I'm exhausted and I only played nine innings.
amazing focus
He did what he always does. It's amazing that on a day like this that he was able to focus and perform.
ball expect few given innings rookie rough thrown
I feel like Wandy's thrown the ball really well the whole year, ... I know he's had a few rough starts, but you can't expect a rookie to come up and give the innings he's given us.
deal outfield
I can go to the outfield or play first, it doesn't matter. It's not a big deal to me.
