behind pitcher tough win
It's tough any day you lose, especially now. We pretty much have to win out. Our pitcher pitched well enough for us to win, but we didn't play well enough behind him. That's the story.
lying pitcher players team throwing whether
All players would be lying if they said they didn't know a pitcher was throwing a no-hitter -- whether it would be their team or the other team. You look up on that board, you know you don't have any hits. I had never been part of a no-hitter. I didn't want that to happen, either.
error margin nice pitchers work
It was nice for our pitchers to be able to breathe, and give them more margin of error to work with.
battles exciting fighting solved
While it's exciting to be a present-day Thurgood Marshall, it is also disappointing that we are still fighting the same battles that should've been solved years ago.
call change decides pull until
You can't do anything about it until he decides to change. Hopefully, he'll pull through this, and it'll be like a call for him to change some things in his life.
ability couple enjoying few fun game last minor proven talked
We talked about it, we made a few minor changes. I've proven I can do it, I have the ability. The last couple years it hasn't happened. I don't think I'm on the downside, I don't think I'm sliding. I can still play the game. It's just relaxing, having fun again, enjoying the game again.
heart lost
We lost a lot of heart -- those two guys.
blame
This one's tough. I take a lot of blame.
blame
This one's tough, and I take a lot of blame. I feel like I should have come through in those situations.
couple days mild treatment understanding
My understanding is it's a mild strain, and I'll get a couple days off. I'll get treatment and see how everything goes.
bring feed guys
I bring a lot of energy. Hopefully, the other guys can feed off my energy.
hearing help kinds stuff team
No, I don't think so. Like I said before, I'm going to go out and play and play hard. Right now it's a little tough. I'm not getting very many hits. I'm hearing all kinds of stuff in the outfield. But, hey, I'm here to help this team win.
hard matt talked
Yes, I was surprised. Stunned. I never thought something like this would come up with Matt. I don't know all the details, but he's a hard worker. Everything he's gotten, he's earned. I actually talked to Matt today, but we didn't talk about this. I didn't say anything about it.
kidding
I thought he was kidding when he told me he was going to do it. It was surprising.
