ball behind falling guy paid strike swinging took underneath
The ball was just lifted. He got it up, got underneath it and took it. The thing about falling behind on Loretta, you fall behind 2-0, with a guy on first, I've got to get at least a strike there. He went swinging and we paid for it.
great guys hate job lose nail supposed
After the other guys did the job in relief, I was supposed to nail down the shutout for Felix after a great start. You hate to lose that zero, but we did get the win, and that's what it's all about.
along guys handled hype talent tremendous
Felix is one of those guys who comes along every 10 or 20 years. He's a tremendous talent -- for his age, unbelievable. And he's handled all this hype like a champ.

I didn't bear down. It would have been nice to sweep those guys but it was a bad day. It's the first time this has happened in a while.

He's one of those guys who comes around every 20 years.
coming gonna good guys job played playing tough
I think we played good baseball. Especially coming in there and playing these guys as tough as we did in their atmosphere. I just didn't do my job today, but I think we're gonna be all right.
gets guys
He's good. He gets these guys off their butts. That's what I like about him.
ask both bright fan games good guys hit knows teams wrong
You want to look for bright spots. If you're a fan who knows the game, I think you'd have to say we're better. I know I've had guys from other teams ask me, 'What's wrong over there? That's a good lineup. We haven't hit consistently. We haven't pitched consistently. And we haven't done both in the same games consistently.
life people stand themselves
I know what is going on here. People want to stand up for their rights. If they're here illegally, most of them are doing it to make a better life for themselves and their families. I'd just like to see them do it the right way.

I wanted to represent my country. It's an honor.

They were ugly shoes, man. They were the ugliest shoes I've ever seen.

We all have to contribute here if we're going to win this year.
help job save sit team win
That's what my job is. To help this team win and save some games. But when they come, they come in bunches. When they don't come, they don't come for a while. You sit back and wait. We'll see what happens. I'll be ready.
