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.
I don't care, who cares? You're up 3-1. Obviously, the old cliche, you keep getting guys out there, and sooner or later you're going to get some base hits. The biggest thing is we're up 3-1 right now. You don't care what you're average is with runners in scoring position.
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'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.
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.
(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.
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.
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.
Home runs just come from accidents by me,
You know that play is going to be real close, ... I don't know if he would have gotten me or not because I hit it off the end and it was spinning funny. It's just one of those situations where you always run it out and you always get an opportunity.
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.
