bats last
Obviously, we had some pretty big bats last year. But this year's lineup isn't so bad, either.
last safe
I was safe here last year, but now I'm not safe anymore.
crowds last year
Last year we got to really see what our crowds were all about in this building. They're your 10th guy.
crazy fans last nice save three
It would be nice to save him for last and then the fans could go crazy for two or three minutes.
andy biggest everybody good hour imagine knew last miles performance pitching saw throwing tough velocity waste year
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.
blow four guys last team three tough win
It's the only way we know how to do it. We can win 10-9 or 2-1. It's just something that over the last three or four years, we have no idea on how to blow another team out. I think a lot of guys in here are used to the tough games.
faced fastball inside last pitch threw time
That's the first time I've ever faced Billy. He threw me a fastball in, then inside again. The last pitch was 99 mph, so I could have popped it up.

circumstance couple home huge last miss mom run
It's a huge home run under the circumstances the last couple of days, with what my mom went through. She wanted me to get here and not miss any games.
game guys honest last mirror night tough
The tough part about last night is it was a long game and we lost. I think guys in the clubhouse, we all look in the mirror and we're all honest about it and it's all about a team.
guys last laying run swinging talking
You're talking 25- and 30-home run guys and they're not in your lineup anymore, so you have to do some things differently, ... That's hit-and-running, laying down some bunts. We can't be swinging for the fences. We've got some power, but we don't have as much as we did last year. We just have to be a little more creative.
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.
