coming early easy feeling games momentum roy strike sure three won
It's not going to be easy. It's not going to be easy coming back here. We'd won three games in a row, and we were one strike away. I'm sure they had to be feeling down, and now they have to be feeling great. But if we come out early and take some of their momentum away, and we get Roy going the way he can pitch, everything will be OK.
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.
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.
giving-up games play
I'm going to give up hits, so I'm going to need to get some ground balls, double plays and stuff like that. That's just kind of my game.
humble games looks
I'm not a negative-minded person. But maybe to keep me humble, I look more at my bad games in big situations than good ones.
games bigs
I've pitched in a lot of big games.
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.
climb huge mountain proud seemed series team
It was a little different for me here, because this just seemed like such a huge mountain to climb to be able to get to the World Series with the team that we have. I'm proud of the guys.
reason
That wasn't the reason I was so bad.
spent time together
We haven't spent time together like we did in New York.
guess hit nice pay
It'd be nice to get a hit every once in a while. But I guess they don't pay me to do that.
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.
lying
I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a blow.
lie runs surprised
I was surprised we put the runs on him, ... I'm not going to lie to you. He's tough.
