bit came coming deer easier headlights media
I think it's going to be a little bit easier for Johnny. He's coming over from Boston. I think he has already been through it. He's not going to have the deer in the headlights (look), where I came over from Oakland and the media outweighs the players.
head hit knew last since spring strung training work year
I was all over the place then. I had been hit (by a pitch) in the head and had been doing so much work since spring training to try and make up for last year that I was just strung out. But I knew it would change.
ball bat breaking head hit hold pole randy threw win
I got a gift, he threw me a breaking ball and I just got the bat head to it. I hit it off the pole and Randy made it hold up. This was a big win for us.
enjoying guy minute single tough
We just wanted to get in. It's been such a long, tough year. I know everyone in here is enjoying every single minute of this. Especially for a guy like me, and where I started. It's unbelievable.
ability bit changed last lift
We changed it up a little bit (from last year) because my ability to lift was already there. I had that base. We started squatting right away, lunging.
doubt games good offense win
We're going to win some games with our offense, no doubt about it. Our offense is too good not to win.
helped shot
The shot has helped me a lot, ... I had tendinitis.
game great heart kid people players prove realize seen special takes triple whatever
People don't realize this game is not fair. I've seen some great players who, for whatever reason, never got the opportunity. To keep going back to Triple A, when you know in your heart you have nothing to prove there, it takes a special kid to do that.
gotta
We had our shots. You gotta come up with that big hit. And we haven't come up with it yet.
responsibility
I've learned that you have to take responsibility for yourself in this game and lead yourself through it.

change coming johnny knows pressure
Coming from Boston, one thing you know about Johnny is that he's not going to be intimidated in New York. He knows what pressure is and he's not going to let it change him.
You get to the plate and nothing is going through your mind. You see the ball, you see the seams.
ask doubt figured good
You figured they would come back. They're hot, we're hot, so it should be a good series. You couldn't ask for a better ending, no doubt about it.
