good pitch seen
I've seen him pitch better, but he's always got good stuff. Even when he's off, he's got good stuff.
advantage baseball change either league major ridiculous
This is part of our home-field advantage and for major league baseball to try and change that is either a) ridiculous or b) they're American League fans.
associate pain people played simple understand
People don't understand that pain he has played with. It's not simple pain. It's the kind of pain people associate with an injury.
arm bone career feeling great hope life maybe month motion quality range remove surgery
The most important thing is that he can use his right arm again. I know he's going to get this surgery to remove the bone spurs. You never know what can happen. You hope after the surgery, a month later, his range of motion is better, he's feeling great and who knows, maybe he can play again. But at this point, it's a quality of life issue. Not a career issue.

last
It's going to go down to the last week,
attack bit earn feet force game generally good hand hitters plays rather situation taylor tie trick wet
It's good to get your feet wet in a little bit of a sloppier situation rather than a one-run game or a tie game. We had a five-run lead, so we had to attack the hitters and force them to earn their way on base. I'm not going to try and trick them. And that kind of plays in hand to what Taylor does generally anyway.
babe care guy run second tying walk
You don't walk a guy and put the tying run on second base. I don't care if it's Babe Ruth.
copy instant number
There were a number of times I said to myself, this is unbelievable, an instant classic, ... I'll get a copy on tape.
