Wags threw him two sliders that ate up his knuckles a little bit, ... He just was able to battle and stay alive. Like Willy does, he puts the ball in play and gave us a chance.
(Wednesday) was definitely a roller-coaster day. It was a close game, and then they tied it up with Bobby's big home run. Then they come back and scored and put us down. Willy not giving up and running all the way through the base gave us a chance. That was a nice game right there.
That time he threw me one or two changes and I fouled one off and then the other one he got it up a little bit and I was able to get it far enough out. That gave us a (three-run lead), and with the way Andy was pitching that's all we needed.
I think we had four great games. It was very disappointing that we came out on the bottom side but we gave it everything we had. We gave everything we had for (the fans).
That's an unbelievable team that we just beat, ... and it's just a great feeling right now and it just goes to show you that we just never gave up.
I just wanted to get to a World Series one time. We never gave up, we kept battling.
I'm really happy, really proud, that our fans stepped up and gave an unbelievable ovation for Baggy. He's not an overly emotional guy, but I know that touched him.
We just go out and do what we're told, and he's really making all the right moves. He's just really doing a great job.
I very easily could have popped it up, but I was able to square it up and we get out of here with another win.
It would be nice to save him for last and then the fans could go crazy for two or three minutes.
It would have been nicer if it was off someone else, I can tell you that, ... But we'll take the win any way we can get it.
They all do the same thing, ... All of them, they just know how to set up hitters. They strike you out when they need a strikeout. It's just amazing to watch them pitch.
They all count. Anyway you can take it, take it.
We didn't know this kid and he's been pitching real well for them and they're real high on him,
