attitude character everybody last matter played situation three tonight weeks win
That's the way we've played the last three weeks or so. Everybody has the attitude that we have to come out and win every game, no matter what situation we're in. Tonight showed some of the character of this team, the fight, and now we have one more game.
excited situation taking
Obviously, I'm excited now that I know I'm going to start. I wouldn't say relieved, but that's where I know I want to be. But I also know it's game-by-game here. I know what the situation is here, so I'm not taking anything for granted.
caught hit home obviously situation strike throw
Obviously the big hit was the home run, ... That was a situation when I didn't want to throw a strike and it caught a little too much of the plate.
situation
I've never been in a situation like this, ever.
anxious gets monotonous physically season
It gets kind of monotonous doing this over and over again. But once you physically feel good, you get anxious for the season to start.
saw turned watched
Just getting ahead. I watched Smally do it all day yesterday, and I saw how that turned out for him.
failed goal heart mindset playoffs ready realistic season ultimately win
Over here is a different mindset from them. You know you're getting ready for a championship season, and a season where you know in your heart that you're going to the playoffs and that ultimately your realistic goal is to win the World Series. And if you don't, then it's a failed season.
decent opportunity pitch pitching
I think getting out of there, ... and having an opportunity to pitch every day in a decent pitching environment, it helps. I'm not going to lie.
coming giving home start
It didn't start well. Coming out and giving up a two-run home run.
against pitching team tough
I thought I pitched decent, not great. It's tough to come back against a team like that, with their pitching staff.
helping race written
I'm happy. Being in a race and helping the team, I don't think I could have written a better script.
couple needed pressure struggling
I wouldn't say I needed it desperately. But after struggling the first couple of times you put more pressure on yourself.
confidence knowing
I take all the confidence in the world knowing that I did get out of those jams.
Most of it just comes down to being aggressive.
