winning mind world
I'd like to get back and win the World Series and have that be the last image in my mind for the postseason.
close everybody finish knows smell team win
I think everybody on our team can smell it. We know how close we are, but at the same time, we know we've got to finish really strong. We have to win two games. I know we can do it, everybody knows we can do it.
everybody smell team
I think everybody on our team can smell it,
definitely means split
It definitely means a lot to split here,
baggy bench chills gave gets hit hopefully meant momentum run watch win
It gave me chills to watch Baggy do that. We've got some momentum going right now. We're doing the things we need to do to win games, and when Baggy comes off the bench and gets a hit like that, it just makes you feel like it's kind of meant to be. We'll hopefully run with it now.
knows lift today win
I think this is huge. To get a win today was really necessary. Everyone knows we play well at home. This should be a big lift for us.
adrenaline behind bullpen crowd everybody fantastic home pitching
The adrenaline was there pitching at home and having the crowd behind you. Everybody in the bullpen did such a fantastic job. That's the most important thing, I think, about this game.
history hit looking thinking trying work
I think they're professionals and they're going up there and looking for something and trying to hit it. I don't think they're thinking too much about the history of us, but if they are and it can work to my advantage, that's great.
inspire playing
If we weren't playing for anything, I don't know if he'd be doing this. It's got to inspire everyone to see him out there.
expect home run
You don't expect him to do that, ... He's not a home run guy.
fastball hitter home plate regular run seen throw trying
I haven't seen the replay, ... Obviously, it got a lot of the plate. But that's what I was trying to do. I was trying to throw a fastball over the plate because I know he isn't a home run hitter in the regular season. He hit zero, right?
expecting game guys might throw
In the past, guys might be wailing away expecting a fastball, but now that they know I throw so many sliders, it's different, ... This is a game where you have to make continual adjustments and get better all the time. Otherwise, you're going to be struggling.
tuesday upset
I'm upset about it now. But Tuesday it's going to be gone.
guys maybe pitching work
I need to get that in a better area. If I'm getting guys out doing that, then that's what I need to do. If I'm still not getting guys out, if I'm still not pitching as well as I want to, then maybe I need to work on the other pitches.
