He's really turned into an unbelievable pitcher. He's got great command of all three of his pitches. He's only going to get better.

We got our foot in the door last year, and now we have to show what we can really do.

Pressure wasn't the problem. Everyone has pressure on them at this level. He threw really well. If we had it to do over, we'd do the same thing.

That won't sink in for a while. He's one of the greatest pitchers of all time.

You know, he's one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Just to get a pitch up, out over the plate, and I connected - it was neat.

I blacked out from the second inning on.

I was going to go up hacking, ... Pitcher on deck. Two outs. He can start throwing his dirtiest stuff up there. So I was definitely hacking.

I felt great when the trade was made, but I also miss Johnny being around. He taught me a lot, so I have mixed feelings. He was great to me when he was here, but now I have to do it on my own.

We'll just have to regroup and come back next year. We're really not thinking about next year right now. We will in a few days.

That's the great thing about him. It doesn't matter if he's on the cover of Sports Illustrated or if he's struggling, he's the same person. That's a great quality to have.
bounce carry happen pitching staff
It will never happen again. Our pitching staff is too good. They'll bounce back and carry us all year.
atmosphere catching magnitude maybe needed seem seemed
With the magnitude of the game, catching 18 innings, it didn't seem like that, ... If it was a regular-season game, maybe it would have seemed like that. But the atmosphere here, and what we needed to accomplish, it wasn't as big of a deal.
run
To give up only one run in this place is unbelievable,

They're the hottest team in the league right now. So for him to do that against a team like that, it's awesome.
