chances couple help hits
They had some big hits and, of course, I had a couple of chances to help us out and didn't do it. It's frustrating.
ability chance everybody game hard nobody plays teams
I think we've got a chance to be a lot better this year. If everybody just plays to their ability. Nobody really has to go off, nobody has to do anything crazy. There are going to be teams better than us, talent-wise, but we are going to play the game hard and we never give up.
ball hard moves threw throws tough
He throws hard, the ball moves everywhere. He threw a hard slider. He's tough to hit.
compete found game good opening win
Any win is a good win, especially on Opening Day, but this is a game where we found a way to win. If we are going to compete this year, that's the kind of game we have to win.
anyone fear
He doesn't fear anything or anyone when he's out there.
good trying
Honest, I'm just trying not to do too much and it's yielded some pretty good results,
analyze goes half instead letting problem sit talk time win
I have no idea. I don't sit and analyze how we get here, why we win somewhere. That's half the problem with the game. Every time something goes on, you've got to talk about it instead of letting it play out.
baseball expect good knowing sitting stomach weird worse
I don't know what to expect. I don't know why baseball would make my stomach feel any worse than sitting on the couch. It's kind of weird not knowing what to expect. But I expect to feel good and I do feel good.
maybe next year
Maybe next year I'll have a better hunch.
bullpen defense good happen winning
That's how we've been winning - good defense and the bullpen doing a job, ... It didn't happen tonight.
expected good guess
I didn't really know what to expect. I guess I expected to feel good and I did feel good.
dugout left run
I could have moved, but it would have had to be years ago. Now I'm too old and set in my ways. It's a lot shorter run from the dugout to first than all the way out there in left field.
afraid gone guys helps lost
It helps out a lot, ... If they'd gone out and stunk, it would have been very disappointing. Obviously, we would have lost a lot more games. But these guys are not afraid of anything.
hope resting tells
I will play when he tells me, but I hope I go out and play well enough that he doesn't think about resting me.
