She didn't want me to miss two days considering the players that we have out and how banged up we are now. Typical baseball mom, she's taking it for the team.
We're going to the World Series, ... It sounds weird to say if off my lips. Finally the baseball gods shined on us.
There've been a lot of great players to play the game of baseball that never got an opportunity to go to the World Series, ... and I was hoping that I wasn't going to be another one of them.
The key to our success this year is obviously not from our offense. It's from our pitching and defense. We made some plays when we had to. Brunt made a great play. This is the kind of baseball we're accustomed to playing this year. We bounced back and played a little better today.
That's a baseball mom. I thought it was pretty admirable of my mom. She said she understands the amount of injuries we have around here, and the time of year it is, and she felt bad about it.
Without Rocket being around, nobody is going to fill those shoes. But Brandon is a big piece of our puzzle. He understands what he can and can't do. He is going to be a big part of this.
He's a little deceiving. He doesn't have a real good arm slot as far as trying to pick the ball up out of his hand. He made some pretty good pitches when he had to.
We had some pretty good at-bats off Carpenter. We just couldn't find any holes. That's the way it goes sometimes. We were able to get some guys on but weren't able to get them in early. We did some little things right, we got some guys on, we got some walks. We take it one batter at a time and everybody tries to stay within their own limitations. We did that, we just didn't get the big hit to get them in.
The research they do is incredible. I was overwhelmed. They have a great thing going on out there. In reality, this came from one brother's love for another brother. Seeing the center up in his brother's behalf, it's an unbelievable thought.
We guided our children. We supported them. We were there for them. But once you start going through your list of schools that present a potential opportunity, a young man or a young woman has to be happy with their decision. If they are unhappy, then their whole four years of college are going to be some of the most miserable memories of their lifetime.
Home runs just come from accidents by me, ... I just try to hit it solid and sometimes they go out. The record is nice to have but I'm not trying to hit them.
We want to get to the World Series, ... It's all about the World Series. Hopefully, it's meant to be for us. We don't know yet.
Everything had to work perfectly on that double play, and it did. It was an unbelievable ending.
