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're trying to win series. You feed off everything, and we're all doing well. It's an all-around team effort.
Just got a fastball out over the plate and did what I wanted to do. I think the ball was carrying. I think the wind was bouncing off the stands and sending the ball back out.
Our focus is to get out and win series.
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.
And from the start of spring training everybody was hungry. Everybody wanted to go out there and win together. Everybody was pulling on the same rope.
We've got to continue to battle and not put pressure on ourselves.
Being a rookie, you don't know what to expect out of a World Series. You're just happy to be there. It's basically a lot of rah-rah, ... Now, I've had a lot of playoff experience with Oakland. This is my fifth time in the postseason. I'm just happy to get back and I hope to get a ring this time.
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.
Two good pitching staffs going at it. Hopefully it is a low-scoring game,
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.
I didn't really try to do too much, ... Just tried to hit it hard somewhere and found a hole up the middle.
One of the worst weather games we played in so far.
