fifth game pitch pitcher pitches run starting theory throw
That was our big theory when I was with Oakland. Run up the guy's pitch counts, 'cause then you get the starting pitcher out of the game in the fifth inning. You're making him throw 100 pitches and he's gone.
ball brad easily momentum swing throwing turned
We could have easily had the momentum swing and just got swept, especially with Brad Radke on the mound. He's been throwing the ball (well). We could have easily turned this into a disaster.
came throwing
That was huge, especially with them throwing up a four-spot in the first, ... This is a big win for us, especially with the way we came back.
anytime guy missing piece team throws
He's a big part of this team offensively. Every guy in this lineup is an All-Star, and anytime you're missing that big a piece of the puzzle, especially the way we've kind of got it going offensively, it kind of throws you off a little bit.
against bags ball guys pitchers steal throw
They have guys that steal bags and put the ball in play, and they have pitchers that throw the ball well against us.
ball breaking face fastball glad hard looking meant pick signed sneak throws until
You never pick up the ball until it's too late. He throws just hard enough to sneak a fastball by you when you're looking for a breaking pitch. I was glad we signed him because that meant I didn't have to face him.
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.
