good guys realize
I don't think some of these guys realize they're in the World Series. Which is probably a good thing.
people
I don't know if that many people care.
example hits perfect pitcher threw
He threw a lot of fastballs and just put them right where he wanted them. It's a perfect example of when a pitcher hits his spots, he's going to be successful.
catch heck hit
I hit it off the end, a split-finger down and in. I didn't think he was going to catch up to it, but he made a heck of a play.
accepted four good indication played positions quite time
In 2001, I played four different positions and I had a really good time doing it. I accepted it as a challenge. Every indication is I'll be out there quite a lot.
either good lost people
Sobering, but, in a way, uplifting. The people I encountered were in pretty good spirits. They either lost everything or don't know what they're going back to.
good
That's as good as you're going to see, ... other than Mariano Rivera.
cause field problems socialize
Around the field he was all business. He didn't really socialize or go out with us that often, but he didn't cause problems around the clubhouse, either.
feeling good plate steadily swing
I've been steadily feeling better and better at the plate and feeling more comfortable to hit. I feel like my swing is really good right now.
best bit looks nice pitchers ran usual
It would have been nice to get a little bit of separation, but we ran into two of the best pitchers in the big leagues. It was usual Pettitte. He showed us different looks in every at-bat.
financial reality stadium state team
The whole state of the team is sad. The whole stadium situation, the financial reality of what they had to do, it is sad.
coming lost
They're happy, but they lost everything or don't know what they're coming back to.
corner fastball night outside
It's all about location. He located his fastball on the outside corner all night long.
gets rid
It's not only his arm. It's his release. He gets rid of it so quickly.
