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.
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.
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.
division job last match share
The last two years have been tough. We all share in that. We haven't done our job. But I look around the division now, and we match up pretty well. I think we can do some damage.
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.
composure everybody himself surprising
The thing that's really surprising everybody is his composure on the mound. The way he handles himself on the field, you wouldn't think he's 19 years old.
business last unfinished
We have some unfinished business (and) I like to finish what I start. Obviously, the last two years weren't good.
chemistry feels fresh spring
It feels fresh and it feels good. During spring training, you can see it a little fire, a little more chemistry here. That's what you need.
good needed timing
We needed this one; we all needed it. It was a good meeting. I like it, the timing of it. We need something to get us going.
early glad longest seemed
You know what? That was the longest inning I've had in a long time. It seemed like 100 pitches. I'm glad it's early and got it out of the way. Don't want many of those, man.
four last time walked
I don't even know when the last time I walked four guys, period.
bad bear guys happened nice sweep time
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.
everybody hurting pitch
I don't know what to tell you, man. That one pitch is costing me. ... It's hurting everybody here.
almost bad cost felt pulled teammates
One bad pitch, it's frustrating. But I felt great, like I did in Boston, and look what happened. I cost the team, I almost cost the game. But my teammates pulled it out, and you know what? I'm not worried. I'll be fine.
