confidence decent games start supposed team winning
For me, it's all about the first 81 games. It's by then that you know what the team has for the most part. If you get to 81 games with a decent record, the confidence grows. You start winning games you're not supposed to win.

The thing about a team like the Royals is that eventually they have to win,
catch good six teams time tough
It's going to be a tough month, a tough first six weeks. But you've got to play these teams sometimes, and now is a good time to see where we're at. You can always catch fire.
city coming hope kansas teams
Teams like Kansas City coming in here are scary, ... Eventually, they have to win. You just hope it's not you.

He just didn't miss. He was throwing strikes and hitting corners. There were a lot of three- and four-pitch at-bats.
ballpark believe certainty convinced
I'd like to believe so. No one can ever say with certainty who's going to go to a World Series. But you have to come to the ballpark every day convinced you are going to win.
questions whether
It's nice, especially in this ballpark, because there were a lot of questions about whether I could do it here.
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.
balls beach throw
I don't think it was where he wanted it. He doesn't throw beach balls.
