deep player wish
I think it was the right one. I think if deep down inside, he didn't feel like he could be the player that he was. I wish him the best.
blame startled
I thought I got him pretty good, so that's what startled me. But the game's too long to blame on one play.
guys last missed seem wonder
I wonder what the qualifications are? ... Some guys don't seem to have missed much of last year.
shown team
We think we're a better team than we've shown this month.
kept moving played won wrong
We should have won because they cheated. They kept moving up to the wrong tees. We played from the back tees.
great nice playing
Typically when you get drafted, playing here, it's not good. So you don't want to play here. But it's a great place. It's a really nice stadium.
everybody needed
We needed this. We've been struggling. Hopefully, everybody can get going now.
amongst came easily game great people played short swept
We could just as easily have swept that series. We played that first game tough, we just came out on the short end. But we're excited. We feel like we've got a great team. I know a lot of people don't, but we do. Amongst ourselves, we think we're going to do a lot of things right this year.
harder looking playing reasons trying
We're looking for reasons to keep playing hard. We're trying to be a spoiler. But it is harder to play when you know you're out of it.
balls beach throw
I don't think it was where he wanted it. He doesn't throw beach balls.
base chance drive good open rather seem situation theory understand walk
If it does work, then there's a base open and they're going to walk me anyway. I don't understand the theory why he stole there. It doesn't seem to be a good green-light situation with two outs. I'd rather there not be a base open and give me a chance to drive in the run.
best career good numbers
He was one of the best in the game. Look at his career numbers and he's right up there in some good company.
heart
He was teary, but his heart just isn't in it anymore.
felt jason knew stunned tagged walking
I felt like I tagged him pretty good, so that's what stunned me. I think Jason knew it, too. He started walking back to the dugout. Everyone makes mistakes.
