anyone quickly score seen
Just amazing. I've never seen anyone score that quickly from second.
against credit excited four fun good great job miss score scoring sign team
I didn't want to be down 1-0, but our team did a great job of scoring for me. Moyer usually does real well against us, so I think it's a good sign that we scored four off him. That's a credit to our offence. We can score in many different ways. I was really excited for Vlade. He's really fun to watch. You don't want to miss any of his at-bats.
again days definitely guys pick runs score stop
If the guys are gonna' score 10 or 11 runs again I definitely won't stop them. Some days they will have to pick me up and some days I will have to pick them up.
home run scores support team tough walk
It's tough when your team comes out and scores like that for you, and then you give up a walk and a home run. It's frustrating. But I can't say enough about how we played. That kind of run support is just phenomenal.

balls corners figured hit middle start teams threw trouble
I think I figured it out, ... All teams that start with T give me trouble. Tampa, Toronto, Texas. But in all honesty, it's the way it goes. The balls I threw on the corners they hit and the ones over the middle they crushed. It's just one of those nights.

I'm honored, excited and glad they're giving me the ball. I'm ready to go.

It came down to a few plays of execution. We were able to execute. It's not a situation where they failed. We just executed well.

I was glad to get out there. It was emotional for me, just putting on the uniform and being able to take the field at Jacobs Field.
