You have to have a lot of motivation, a lot of heart and be able to work hard. You can never be down on yourself because baseball is a sport that will bring you down [at times].

I think my mom and dad did a great job with that, because we [with brother] never had any competition in baseball. We always tried to help each other.
basketball baseball brother
We [ me and brother] wanted to win at things like basketball games or baseball games, but off the field we never felt like we had to compete with each other.
baseball player guy
We're baseball players. We don't need guys telling us, 'Hey, you need to hurry. Hey, you need to do this. Hey, you need to step up.' We are professionals, we can do that without anybody telling us. I'm OK with it, but we need to do it on our own.
hit oh praying stayed thinking
Oh my gosh, I was praying so hard. I had no words. I was thinking so hard, 'Please, don't go foul.' I don't know when I'll hit another one of those. And, you know, it stayed fair.
allowed anybody game hear rest sleep
Sleep is never overrated. I think we'll take our rest right now because the game is over. We didn't think about it the whole game. I didn't hear anybody say, 'We're tired.' Now, we're allowed to say it because the game is over.

They both have great bullpens. This team has speed. They like to go from first to third and will hit and run any time.

We're going to be fine this time, ... We have time to get some guys some rest. That could be really important.

Unbelievable. Absolutely great for the team. When Garret is hot, we win games. He's always proven he can hit. He's just a proven, great clutch hitter.
calling
The way they let me go without a notice, without calling me, that said a lot.
bad
One bad pitch. Other than that he was outstanding, he was great.
battle guy horrible plate quick today tough work
Like he always is: Tough to hit. Myself, I was horrible today at the plate so I have to give him credit. I think with him you have to battle all day. He's the kind of guy that's going to work quick and try to get you out quick.
came chance good throw
When the throw came in, I thought that we had a good chance to get him out.
less money took
I took a lot less money to come over here for a reason, and that's to win.
