I think it had a little effect on him.

Chris Burke is still winning the card game,
pitching
Our pitching has been good. You can't say that enough.
ball breaking threw throw
He just wanted to go out and throw the ball over the plate. That's what he did. He didn't throw too many breaking balls. He just threw some fastballs. He got them where he wanted them.
champion true
He showed what a true champion he is.
aggressive ahead door faces gotten helped offense pitching slammed start
I think it helped that our offense was aggressive from the start and our pitching has just slammed the door in their faces when we've gotten ahead in this series.
bay came early game guys kept roy sixth tough
He came through big. He had one tough inning, but our guys came through for him. Once in a while, you have to have a little help. Roy kept the game at bay early on. We had a tough sixth inning, and then we responded.

Chuck continued to manage because he said that's exactly what his mom wanted him to do. He said, 'She wanted me to get to the World Series, but she wanted me to see it through,' and he did.

I think Andy is probably the key figure here in making all this happen.
fastball good guy nice primary stayed unusually
He had a pretty nice fastball and he was locating it pretty good and they just stayed with it all night. It was kind of an unusually pitched game. You don't see a guy use primary fastballs but he was locating where he wanted and they stayed with it and he did a nice job.
anticipate ball beat bit burst call doubt exciting feet game hits incredible last realize rookie season seeing seven six thrown tired umpire win year
If he hits a ball hard, you can get him out. If he hits it soft, he'll beat it out every time. He has an incredible burst the last 15 feet or so. There have been six or seven times this season when an umpire will anticipate a little bit and call him out and then realize that he was safe. I got thrown out of a game or two because I got tired of seeing that. I don't know if he's going to win the rookie of the year or not, but there is no doubt he's an exciting player.
across bad eyebrow plain sweating wiped
He did not go to his mouth. He was sweating profusely on his face. He wiped his eyebrow across his nose, and (Dreckman) called it on his face. It was a bad call, plain and simple.
brad plain
I think if Brad had made his pitches, we would have had a different outcome, plain and simple,
