Us? We don't know how to do that. Are you kidding me? There's no way. We did score three runs today, so that's a good thing. It's a big step in the right direction.
But it was good to help us get off to a fast start. It's always nice when you get any pitcher a run in the first. And Brandon pitched real well tonight.
Obviously, today four runs was enough, ... Andy pitched great and we played good defense. We had three double plays early that were big. The way the series started, that was a huge comeback to get two wins.
It was a good pitcher's duel, but it would have been tough to waste that pitching performance by Andy. The biggest thing with Andy was getting his velocity back. Everybody in here knew that once he did, you're going to see what you saw before. When he's throwing that cutter at 83-84-85 miles an hour last year and getting away with it then, you could only imagine what it was going to be like when he started getting it up to 90-91.
It's a good day. Hopefully, we'll play another month and really enjoy it.
There are certain guys who get good jumps on balls, and there are other guys who see the bat head coming through and they know where the ball's going. That's Adam. You just take it for granted.
Today we just took our lumps. We came across a good pitcher, and he pitched well and hit his spots.
They got some guys on and we had one bad play. But, once again, they've got a good team over there, and for us to come out here and take two out of three, we'll take it.
About 99.9 percent of the time he comes in, and it's game over. He's nasty, he's got good stuff. He's still got it. You tip your hat to any guy that can square up and catch up to it.
You're never going to forget certain things that happen to you in this game. And a three-run home run off the Rocket in his first playoff game -- I guarantee you he'll never forget that . It was good for him, just bad for us.
He throws hard, he's got a good slider. We haven't seen him before, which is not good for us, historically.
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.
