against best game
We were pitched to death. It's the best game that's been pitched against us all year.
careful game hitting hurting intention people seen start
I've never seen Curt Schilling go out and start a game with the intention of hurting people. But if you start hitting people in the head... you need to be very careful of that.
baseball bicycle clothes dad fall game gave guys kept love
I started to fall in love with the game of baseball when my dad gave me my first set of baseball cards, ... I kept the ones I recognized. The guys I didn't were the ones I put in the spokes of my bicycle with clothes pins.
base either extend front game guy hitting men number opportunity people plate possibilities takes year
Think about the ... significance of ... how many at-bats he takes this year with men on base because the guy (Casey) hitting in front of him is going to be on base. There's going to be a number of times that he's going to come up to the plate with people on base and have the opportunity to either extend the inning, put a game away or extend leads. All those possibilities will be there.
additional catch continues creep followed four further game runs side three time tough trying
Each and every time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs by the other side of the field. And when you're trying to play catch up, and it continues to go further and further away from you, you're trying to get back in the game three or four times a game that's tough to do.

Each time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs from the other side of the field. When you're trying to get back into a game three or four times a day, that's tough to do.

Offensively, we did some great things. To get back in the game in the manner in which we did took some great at-bats.

Both guys are going to catch in situations and games that make the most sense for them and the club.

Sometimes it takes one at-bat in one game for the light to go on. You can accomplish a lot by doing what we were doing with Duffy today.

We got the three runs in that inning and we didn't do anything else. That's our offensive game tonight.

We have two more days and we have to look at it as though tomorrow and Sunday are games that we have to win.

That was his game to determine. It was his baseball game at that point. You have to give him the opportunity to finish it.
boils chances game hit needed night tie win
We had our chances to win that game, but it boils down, night after night, to the kind of game we had, and I say the same thing. We needed a situational at-bat to tie the game, then a two-out hit would put us ahead.
game happened top
We had opportunities for this game to be different than it was. We let it get away from us and that happened in the top of the first inning.
