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.
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.
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.
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.
caught guess hard jason wrong
I guess he caught Jason at the wrong moment, which is not hard to do.
behind hit hitters needed
I never said I needed someone to hit behind me. I just said I needed someone else in the lineup. If you only have one or two hitters in the lineup, you're not going to win.
envisioned games half point
I never envisioned half of what we've done. Going through what we went through, I just wanted to get back to the point where we had competitive games - not even winning, just competitive games.
