battle confident pull until
It's going to be a battle all the way until the end. We feel like we're strong, ... We'll be able to pull through it and get this thing done. We still feel very confident in that.
far
It's getting better every day as far as the soreness and all that.
avoid ball breaking freak inside kept saw
It's unbelievable, a freak accident. I saw the ball the whole way. I thought I could avoid it, but it kept breaking into the inside of my knee.
doubt
They're for real. There's no doubt about that.
ahead great guys
It wasn't great and they battled me pretty hard. I was getting ahead of them for the most part but I just couldn't put guys away.
close games rather sooner win
We still need to win some games and try to close this thing out. Hopefully, we can do that sooner rather than later.
complete games great low scoring starters
What the starters have done over there, with all those complete games, it's amazing. I've pitched in so many games and I don't think I've ever had a complete game. It's going to be a great series, some great pitching, low scoring games. It's going to be a lot of fun.
forward looking whatever whenever
I'll do whatever they want. The way I look at it is I have one more start, whenever it is, and then I'm looking forward to the rest.
arm body far pitch
He's unbelievable. His arm and his body is so strong, if anything ever aggravates him, it's his leg. He could probably pitch for another 10 years, as far as his arm goes.
extra games gotten loved three win
We're not down. We're in a situation, you look at it, we've got three games to win one. We'd have loved to have gotten it done (Monday) for sure, but we didn't. We've got to go there, we've got to play hard, we can't make any mistakes, can't give them any extra outs. We've got to make some pitches, and we need to get it done.
clothes street threw
I threw my street clothes on and left, so that was my day.
balls heart threw
I was just bad, ... I threw a lot of balls right in the heart of the zone.
club forward huge next step taste together took
We took a huge step to get to the World Series. We've got a taste of it now. It's the same old story. We need to keep the club together and look forward to next year.
again course found good last nice pitch seven six using year
I found my change-up again last year, ... I didn't have it for probably my last six or seven years in New York. I didn't have a good change-up that I was using the course of a game. It was nice to be able to find that pitch last year while being hurt.
