against game huge last losing nice played split tough year
We hadn't played real well against them here, and last year as well. It's nice to come in here after losing a tough game yesterday, and getting the split was huge for us.
game goes hit home love run seen
You'd love to have seen him hit a home run right there, or get a big hit. But that's the way the game goes sometimes.
biggest game hit middle nobody pressure single spot third
Actually, I think the biggest at-bat of that whole inning was Quintero's. He got the single up the middle, and we went first-to-third there. Now, we got first and third and nobody out. We got pressure on them. That was a big spot in the game to come up with that hit up the middle with two strikes.

fastball five games good guy strikes team threw won
The guy won 21 games for a reason. He was pretty good, he had a good sinker, fastball and curveball and he threw them all for strikes and I think that was the key. We got down five runs, but we didn't give up. We never give up, and that's something this team has done all year.

bit early finally game middle pitch stay struggling swung trying
I'm just trying to stay more in the middle of the field, to give myself a better chance. I was struggling a little bit early in the game -- trying to find it a little bit. That time, I got a pitch and finally swung at it good. It's just one of things that went my way.
great known tip tremendous
That was a tremendous play, and he's known for that. He's a great outfielder, and sometimes you have to tip your cap.
bat bit chance consistent drive good stay swing trying zone
I was trying to put a good swing on a pitch. I was trying to give myself a chance to drive in some runs. I'm trying to stay more consistent and get my bat through the zone a little bit better and give myself a chance.
ball checked great grip guy hand happened head hit next sure threw underneath
I was going to glove it at first, and when it hit it kind of checked up, and the next thing that went through my head was (to) make sure the ball doesn't go underneath my hand because the guy could score. I just happened to get a great grip on the ball and threw the guy out.
bit ease knowing last nice pitchers scoring start year
Last year we didn't start too well on the road, and it's nice to get off to a better start. Knowing that we're scoring some runs, it's always nice to put our pitchers at ease a little bit and let them relax.
steps taken
She has taken as many as 12 steps before crashing.
far gratifying last miss obviously witness year
I did miss it last year as far as being out on the field, but I did get to witness it on the bench, and that's better than nothing. It's obviously a lot more gratifying than watching.
baseball best tough
It's tough when one of your best friends in baseball does it. It's bittersweet.
