holy looking
D.J. can flat-out hit, holy smokes. I'm looking for big things from him.
enjoy game hard lose man momentum
First one, man, but it's hard to enjoy it when you lose the game. It got us back in the game and I thought there was some momentum shift. I know I was excited.
confidence gives happened momentum pull win
The way things have been going, to pull off a win like this gives us momentum and confidence. The way it happened was cool.
capable hitters rocking time
Our hitters know what we're capable of doing. It's just going to take us a little time to get rocking and rolling.
hit trying
I wasn't trying to think very much today, I was just going up there to see it and hit it, ... Sometimes you can think about it too much.
against both command extra nasty plate sides tonight tough using
His command of both sides of the plate was ridiculous. He really has a nasty cutter, and he was using it well against righties and lefties. He's tough enough as it is, and tonight he was extra tough.
couple seat top
I had so many things going through my head, ... To be able to come out on top is nice, being able to get a couple hits. Now she has a front-row seat at every game.
clutch excited form hits imagined opportunity
I never imagined this when the day started and I wasn't playing, ... I was excited to get the opportunity in that spot. We got so many clutch hits that we needed, especially form our big guys, Kotsay and Chavez.
best curve fastball good pitcher seen sit
He's the best young pitcher I've seen this season. You couldn't sit on his fastball because he had such a good curve and a change. And his fastball moved. He was tough.
hurt leg typical
I don't know if his leg was hurt or not, ... All of a sudden, we were like, 'What's going on here?' But that's just typical A's baseball, you know?
night tip
You tip your hat. That was an unbelievable pitch. All I can say is it wasn't our night.
biggest happen time
The biggest thing is that there are no more excuses. We can't say we don't know what's going to happen -- we've been through it once. Now it's time to go to work.
chance excited exciting guys hit maybe seven six
It's the old-school A's. I think there are six or seven guys who have a chance to hit 20 homers in that lineup, and maybe more. It's really exciting to see what's going to happen. I'm juiced and I know everyone else is excited too.
almost emerge last
It's almost like last year. We're right on the verge. We'll get things going. But for everyone in the AL West, it's the same thing right now. Someone is going to emerge from it, and hopefully, it's us.
