bottom came four gave great side
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).
ate ball battle gave puts stay threw
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.
base close definitely game gave giving home nice running tied
(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.
feeling gave goes great team
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.
gave kept series
I just wanted to get to a World Series one time. We never gave up, we kept battling.
emotional fans gave ovation overly stepped touched
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.
andy bit changes far gave pitching threw time
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.
fill nobody piece rocket
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.
real lying hands
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.
guy trying bats
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.
brother reality research
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.
memories children school
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.
running nice home
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.
meant
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.
