They're scrappy, ... and they don't try to do too much. They put the ball in play. When guys get on, they hit and run, steal, distract the pitcher. They go out and do everything they can to produce a couple of runs.
You see him coming in with an 0-2 (record) and a 5 (ERA) and you wonder, 'How? How's that possible?
This is probably one of the best games of my career.
One day, I'll hopefully pitch here in St. Louis. I love Chicago right now, and if they signed me to a lifetime deal, I'd sign it. But if I get the opportunity to put that (Cardinals) uniform on for at least one game, I'll do it.
Not with us being in the National League (parks) and pitchers having to hit. I don't think there's a chance that's going to happen.
Actually, I got out in the woods and kind of cleared my mind,
They didn't pay him $55 million for nothing. I knew I had to settle down to give our team a chance.
I wasn't getting ahead in the count. Whenever you are falling behind in the count, you have to lay a pitch in there.
I like to get out in the woods as much as I can to get my mind away from baseball and kind of get away from everything. It's nice to get out there and listen to everything, the wildlife and the smells.
I knew I had to settle down. I knew we wouldn't score a lot off Burnett.
I really can't say I had playoff experience. Now being in the majors five years consecutively (as a starter), I think just being out there on the mound and being in pressure situations help.
He's outgoing. He's never in his office, ... Some managers are stuck in their office and don't socialize with everyone else. He's out here joking around, laughing, keeping everyone loose. I think it starts with him, as far as keeping our team loose.
I keep hearing stuff that my arm is hurt and I'm injured. I don't know where this is coming from, but I feel fine.
I hung the ball the first couple of innings. Location-wise I didn't have it.
