baseball best kid last pitcher
To me, this kid is the best pitcher in baseball right now, ... He's been the best the last two years.
biggest game home hopefully maybe tomorrow
Tomorrow is a big game for us, maybe the biggest game we're going to play this year, and hopefully we come home a victory.
guys hits hitting nine nobody sudden three time tonight walk
When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time.
consistent eighth ninth season struggled
We need that. We've really struggled all season long in the seven, eighth and ninth (spots). No one was consistent there.
We are here, they are not, because we pitched better.
boston clubhouse trip
We're not going to use them. Making the trip for no reason, Boston is real uncomfortable, the clubhouse is small.
biggest came change game knows reasons team
When he came to the States, he knows he's got to change the game for us, and he did, ... If you look at my team from a manager's view, one of the biggest reasons we're here is because of Iguchi.
clubhouse goose matter prepare today watching
Today I was in the clubhouse and we were watching the highlights. You do get goose bumps. But in the meanwhile, you've got to be careful. No matter what you do today, just prepare yourself for tomorrow. Don't get too cocky.
best chances clutch left people
We left a lot of people on base. We didn't do what we do best - clutch hitting. We had chances in every inning to score.
carried nice pitching score staff team
The pitching staff has carried this team the whole year, but it's nice when you score a lot of runs.
count four gave guys nice walk
When he gave me that answer, it was just walk away and let him pitch. I think it's nice when you have four guys you can count on.
cocky last rub year
When you're world champions, you (can) be cocky or try to rub it in their face. It's nice. You have the ring, you have the trophy. I always said last year, 'We're not that good.' This year it's the same way.
best doubt games mirror nine pitching runs score staff
When you score nine runs, these are games you have to win, no doubt about it. When your best thing is the pitching staff and you score nine runs for the pitching staff we've had all year, no way we should have lost. We have to look in the mirror and pitch better.
knows ready
We have to get him ready so he knows how to prepare.
