A couple of guys could have got it. We all worked hard to do whatever we could to help this team win and guys came up with big hits in a lot of situations. And it's just special for me to be thought of as MVP.
We don't have any egos on this team. I think that was what was really special about this club,
I knew our starting pitchers and bullpen had the capability to go out there and shut teams down. I knew with our offense we were good. From the start of spring training everyone was hungry, everybody's pulling on the same rope.
I'm not really doing anything different. I'm usually a slow starter. We're playing well right now, and I just want to contribute.
I'm not going to tell him I fouled it off. Just go to first and, hopefully, we get a big hit and we did.
I hadn't thought of it that way. Our paths have just gone two different directions.
I had my chance and didn't do it,
It's a new year and he caught me when I was swinging good.
It just so happens that he hears stuff from what umpires say on certain calls like that,
It was kind of funny to me. When you come to an opposing team's ballpark and something happens that may have not gone their way, they'll let you know about it. He thought it was kind of funny. He said he's known now. I told him he could probably go to Hollywood now and become a movie star.
We're going through a tough time right now. But a win is a win, and we'll take it.
We're going through a tough time right now, ... But a win is a win, and we'll take it.
We had a guy at the plate that hadn't played in a while, so it's tough to expect him to go up there and get a hit.
You can let the game come to you and we did that tonight. We haven't had one of these in a while. The offense showed up and Freddy went out there and did what he needed to.
