bring chance crowd days energy five game harness special
Even if you've had just five days off, with that crowd and a game of that magnitude, you're going to have a lot of energy. You have to harness it, and if you bring that energy to the glove, you have a chance to bring something really special to it.
chance change count felt last looks nice quality ran six sort starters time
He's a good, quality guy, and we have to get him back to when he was at his best, which looks like when he was with Montreal. It's nice to have that sort of quality you can count on. Every time we ran out one of our six starters last year, we felt like we had a chance to win. There's no change at all with this group.

attended individual people pump unless
Every individual has been attended to. But you can't simulate what it's like unless you pump 50,000 people into the stands.

games head mental sidelines stay trip
With Jon, we did what we could do on the sidelines and with simulated games to stay ready. The relievers are doing the same thing with sidelines. ... It's only a mental head trip if you let it be a mental head trip.
