best game played playing team
Obviously, it makes it a lot more interesting. You've got the best player, possibly, who's ever played this game back to a team that's been playing well.
buy couple extra love realize win
Obviously, I realize how important it is. I want to be out there. But it's still there. Hopefully, it will be better tomorrow. I'd love to have us win and buy me a couple of extra days.
goat home last obviously
Obviously (the home run) was the last thing on my mind. I went from goat to hero.
blood expected guys smell
When those guys have the lead, they smell blood. No one expected anything from us.
brad chance dominated gets settled
We had Brad on the ropes, but he battled out there and competed. When you have a chance to put him away, you have to before he gets comfortable and settled in. He pretty much dominated once he got settled in.
ball contact felt rolling saw
When I got to first, I felt the ball in my chest. There must have been some kind of contact with Cruz's glove, then I saw the ball rolling away.
baseball definitely produce shows talked whatever
We've talked about having a swagger. But when you play .350 baseball, or whatever we played, you can't tell yourself to have that swagger. You have to go out there and produce to have it. When you show you can come back and get big hits, then it shows that it's possible. I think it definitely snowballs.
baseball best looking people sacrifice whatever willing winning
On the field, I don't think anyone's looking for people to be best friends off the field. When it comes to winning baseball games, you have to have 25 people willing to sacrifice and do whatever it takes.
mr richard riding
Richard will be riding for Mr Pipe, that is correct.
against bats good hits tonight tough
(Webb) is a very good pitcher, when his sinker is on, its tough to get consecutive hits against him, but tonight we put some good at bats against him.
good guys kinds offensive swing teams trying understand work
trying to get guys to understand that you have to work the count, you have to swing at strikes, do all those kinds of things good teams do on the offensive end. But they just haven't been able to do it.
occasion rise says sean
With everything he has been through this year, for Sean to rise to the occasion like that, it says a lot about his character.
glue guy pivotal rock
He's kind of like the pivotal guy on this team. He's been the rock or the glue or whatever. He's the one guy you don't want to lose.
ask bunt easy instill players position practiced puts succeed
For you to instill that in your players now puts them in a better position to succeed later. It's easy to bunt if you've practiced it, but you can't ask him to bunt in the (playoffs) if he's never done it.
