good hit less location percent
Location was everything and I wasn't in the right location. I probably hit less than 50 percent of my spots. I wasn't very good today, at all.
sigh tough
You never want to sigh too hard. It's going to be a tough two games.
ball bit great hitting
It was a back-and-forth battle. They have a great team. They're hitting the ball well. We just hit the ball a little bit better.
dreaming guys home last leagues
This is what we all come to do. Guys don't come to the big leagues dreaming they'll be in last place and go home at the end of September.
brought fighting season year
That's how we have to play. We brought it down to the end of the season like we usually do. We've been fighting for first place all year long.
fastball field guy hit left middle trying
I was trying to go fastball down and away. You don't want the guy to hit the ball to left field with power, and he's got some power. Dougie set up down and away. The ball was middle up, and he just tomahawked it.
bridge change easy losing pitcher relief season talented
It won't really change anything I do. I was just kind of the bridge to the end of the season anyway. But it won't be easy losing a talented relief pitcher like that.
age-and-aging fact younger
As you get up in age, you're a little more prideful of the fact that you can keep up with the younger guys,
dominating guy hitters ninth people stands works
He's a young guy who works hard. He's not just scraping by in the ninth inning. He's going out there and dominating hitters and people in the stands want to see that in a ninth-inning guy.
accept either game good hit less maybe percent threw throw today
I probably hit less than 50 percent of my spots. I wasn't good today at all. You've got to accept that. That's part of the game right there. Either you're on or you're off. Today was off. They hit me. They know I throw strikes. Maybe I threw too many.
champion deep happened happens maybe seen tends win
What happened to us happens to every champion. We've seen it in basketball. We've seen it in football. We've seen it in boxing. You see it in every sport. Every champion tends to not necessarily relax, but I think maybe you win and you feel like you can take a deep breath.
fighting games year
We're not 10 games back. We're a half-game back. We've been in first place or fighting for first place all year long. This is not season-ending by any means.
beat guys means relish sure
We're pretty beat up and banged. I'm sure the guys are going to relish the day off. It means a lot.
beat cool guys heal hopefully quite relish sure
We're pretty beat up and banged up. We've been going quite a bit. I'm sure the guys are going to relish a day off. Hopefully heal up and cool down mentally.
