advantage behind bit game involved people situation supposed toward understand unfair win
I know there's a lot of unfair things being said, but it was a no-win situation for the U.S. You're supposed to win but with all the quirks of the way it's set up, it just wasn't toward the advantage of the U.S. People who really know the game and are involved in it understand they were a little bit behind going into this whole thing and at a real disadvantage.
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.
along bad coming doubt everybody good jerks minded obviously open opposite since situations time written
He's funny, he's completely opposite of everything that's been written about him. Obviously there have been some unfortunate situations with him, but coming into it I think everybody was open minded and there was no doubt in anybody's mind that he was going to have a good time here and he was going to get along with the guys. Since I've been here, there haven't been any jerks or bad personalities.
hurt key needed situation
That was a situation where we needed to get something on the board. That was a key at-bat, and I didn't come through. That really hurt us. I wanted to be in that position.
good guys joe seen stuff timid
I know. That's how good Joe was. In this environment, it's a big deal, and I've seen a lot of our guys go out there pretty timid at times. But there was nothing timid about Blanton. I thought he had really good stuff tonight, and he just went after guys with it.
catch doubt good league mind national obviously six teams top work
The better teams are obviously in the American League. It's tough, but it makes for good baseball. Now the National League has to do some work to catch up. There's no doubt in my mind the top five, six teams are from the American League.
agree basic group message special thinks
The basic message was that he thinks this is a really special group of guys, and I couldn't agree more.
good players stuff
There's too many good players over there for that stuff to happen,
good
Nothing you could say or write about him would be good enough. He's why we're where we are.
excited
I'm really excited about this tournament, and I'd like to backdoor my way into it any way I can.
balls barrel button felt focus game guess hit kinda main panic switch
I kinda hit the panic button a little. My main focus was just put the barrel on the ball. I guess during the game a switch went on. But I was shagging balls and felt delusional. I didn't know where I was at.
baseball confidence five help hope runs score six
I hope we can score five or six runs tomorrow. I hope this will help get our confidence back. There's a lot of baseball left, I hope we can get going again.
kept rather
I'm a big just-play-baseball guy. I'd rather we just kept it all between the lines.
caught guess hard wrong
I guess he caught Kendall in the wrong moment, which isn't hard to do.
