happened last miracle regardless sweep year
Regardless of what happened today, we've got to sweep. We'd need a miracle going for us to sweep them, but you never know. It was a miracle last year with Boston.
boston came chance fighting last miracle until year
It's a miracle we're going after for now. You never know. It was a miracle last year (in the playoffs) when Boston came back on New York. We'll keep fighting until they tell us there's no chance to make it.
defense great hitting last solid
They're going to be a lot like us last year. They're not going to keep hitting like that, but they don't have to. They have solid defense and great pitching, just like they always do.
bats dictate good hitting last pitching swing swinging
As good as our pitching has been, you can tell when we swing the bats well, they are comfortable. When we're not swinging the bats, they are not too comfortable on the mound. Hitting will really dictate how well we do the last month.
borderline couple good last
We're doing something pretty special. We've been good the last couple years. But this is borderline spectacular.
best continue couple expect felt five four good grow last past possibly respect shoulder situation streak tough year
When you have a streak intact, you want to keep it going as long as you possibly can, ... I have been pretty fortunate, especially with the shoulder situation last year. The past four or five years, I've felt pretty lucky. I don't really expect anything. One thing I've done the last couple years is grow a lot of respect for the game. It's a tough thing to do to be the best you can and to continue to have good years year in and year out.
last remember time
I can't even remember the last time we got swept.
eighth good ninth seventh strength
We've always had good (closers) in the ninth inning. But the seventh and eighth has been a real strength for us this year.
billy chance knew realistic signed since won year
We've won every year since I've been here, but now I think we have a realistic chance to do some big things. When I signed here, I knew Billy would do what it would take to win.
shake
(The opener) was probably more disappointing for the fans. We were able to shake it off.
board guy hurt key needed redeem run spot starting whether
Regardless, we needed to get something on the board with that at-bat. I'm the key guy in that spot to make something happen. I didn't come through. It hurt us right there. We have to get a run in, whether it's a flyball or something else. In that situation, I'm the person you want up there -- I'm the person I want up there. Hopefully, starting tomorrow, I'll have opportunities to redeem myself.
handled impressive performance seen stuff wall worried
I think the way his stuff was and how he handled the hitters, that was the most impressive performance I've seen here. He wasn't worried about the lineup, the (left field) wall or anything like that.
middle pitches plate threw
I think he threw a lot of pitches down the middle of the plate that we popped up.
both early frank playing start
I think Frank will come in early one day when no one's around and start playing it. They've both been great.
