friends-or-friendship good last
I'm actually pretty good friends with him. I didn't really think much of that last year, or much of this. It's in the game, and that's what happens.
came capable contribute felt four last night
I never got it going like I was capable of, but at least in the last four months, I felt like I could contribute every night when I came to the ballpark.
good last month ourselves position road trip
We've put ourselves in a good position going into this last month now. We just have to keep going. This was a good road trip for us.
feels issue knee last
My knee feels probably better than last year. Having said that, the knee really wasn't an issue (last year). My issue was rust.
capable certainly confident fact feels felt good last respect takes team win
I think we respect the fact of what it takes to win the World Series. I certainly respect that. I felt like they were a really good team last year, so we respect who we're playing. But I also think that everyone in here feels pretty confident about what we're capable of doing.
college elite emerging guy impressive last
He's already emerging as one of the elite closers in the game. That's pretty impressive for a guy who was in college last year.
hand hopefully win
Everyone had a hand in tonight's win and hopefully it will get us going a little bit.
against bear
Against Santana, you know you've got to bear down in every at-bat. Because if you don't, not only will he own you, but he'll make you look bad, too.
field hard toward
The field here kind of slopes out, toward the baselines. You can get some hard bounces over there.
athletic coach feeling few fox game majority mental says separates
I'm feeling comfortable out there. I know what I'm doing. I know my responsibilities. That's a lot of the game. Coach (John) Fox says 95% of the game in mental, and it really is. When you get to this level, there are a few superstars, but the majority of people, athletic wise, are the same. It's the mental part that separates them.
hope sneak watch
I hope we can still sneak in there. Hopefully, we can get it done and come in here and watch TV.
feeling
I made some adjustments and I'm feeling better. I'm getting back on track.
ok start telling torn worried
I've had OK April's before, but I've never really torn it up. I've been telling myself not to read too much into it. I'm not worried about what kind of start I get off to. It's a long, long, long season.
bigger clean good
It was a good shoulder-to-shoulder. He's a little bigger than me, and it was a clean hit.
