best everybody goes helping normal stuff time treat
It's kind of probably normal stuff that everybody goes through this time of year. We're going to treat it the best we can. As long as I'm helping the team, I want to be out there.
easier experience guess means situation success time
I think experience means a little something, ... I guess being there in (crunch) time makes it not easier, but it makes it easier to look back on something and say, 'Hey, I've had success in this situation before.'
ball fly gets guy pressure throwing time
Any time you put pressure on the defense, that's good. You get a throwing error, the guy can end up with a triple, and then a fly ball gets him home.
builds fortunate pitches rather situations time trying
I'd rather have a 1-2-3 inning every time but I was fortunate to make some pitches there. I always prided myself in those situations and trying to get out of them. Builds a lot of character.
deal dealt doubt good miss move time tough
I'm going to miss him. No doubt about it. It's a tough business, though. You've got to deal with the good times and the bad. He's dealt with them, and it's time for him to move on to another venture.
easily either game guys happy however tie
Either one of those guys can easily tie the game or put them ahead. You're happy with however you get them out.
against bad believed execute guy luck needed pitches pitching six
I've always believed you make your own luck. I wouldn't say I had bad luck today. I just didn't execute pitches when I needed to. Pitching against a guy (Zambrano) like that, you can't give up six runs.
coming opening
Coming from Florida, opening day is sometimes the only day you have like that.
correct deal definitely hard home learn whatever
There's got to be some kind of deal you learn from this. I'm definitely going to go home and think hard about it and try to correct whatever it was.
excuse
There's no excuse for tonight. It was brutal, brutal, brutal.
baseman hitting home
That was bull, hitting our first baseman after he hit a home run.
apart coming good guys hope start swallow team tear tough
That's the way we feel. We'll see how things play out. I hope they don't tear this team apart and we have to start all over. I know we have some good young guys coming up, but it would be tough for a lot of us to swallow if we have to start over.
That's what he should do, right? ... He's a home-run hitter.
days felt focused found great
You know, I felt intense, I felt focused today. Days when you have great stuff, you probably shouldn't give up any runs, and I still found a way to give up two.
