came knowing player
We've got to come in and do our thing. We're not just any player on the team. We came here knowing what we need to do.
heart angel player
I liked playing with David Eckstein (former Angels shortstop). I'm not talking about players with top skills, I'm sure there were players with way more skill than him, but there were very few people in the league that had the heart like him.
team player people
I'm a pretty easygoing guy. I'm not hard to get along with. I never had anybody that I had trouble with. On the other team, sometimes you don't like players because of the way they act, but then you get to know them and then they're very good people. But I never disliked anybody.
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.
fine guys time
We're going to be fine this time, ... We have time to get some guys some rest. That could be really important.
foot hit impression replay watched
I thought he was out because I thought he hit me with his spikes, right on my arm. That's what my first impression was. These guys, they watched the replay and they told me that what hit me was the knee, and the foot was already on the plate. So he was safe.
bad
One bad pitch. Other than that he was outstanding, he was great.
came chance good throw
When the throw came in, I thought that we had a good chance to get him out.
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.
absolutely clutch great proven win
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.
game hopefully middle pitches plate pray
The only thing we can do is probably pray a lot. Hopefully he makes a lot of pitches up the middle of the plate and he's not on his game that day.
less money took
I took a lot less money to come over here for a reason, and that's to win.
hope lose loss money
For me, it's not about how much money they spent. For me, it's about the team. We need him and I think it's going to be a big loss if we lose him. I hope not. I hope everything is fine.
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.
