ball block headed hear strike
Customarily, if the ball is in the dirt, say if we block a ball for strike three, they usually say, 'No catch, no catch, no catch.' And I didn't hear any of that. That's why I was headed back to the dugout.

I caught the ball, so I thought the inning was over. Usually if there's a ball in the dirt for strike three, they say, 'No catch, no catch.' I didn't hear any of that.
ball caught
I caught the ball so I thought the inning was over.
spot
It was very, very disappointing for us. Our guys, especially Escobar, battled to get to that spot (and) got the out, so it's very frustrating it wasn't called the right way.
best felt fun moving
It felt good. When you're moving around like that, it's not easy, but it's a lot of fun because you try to be the best you can at each one.
breaking fastball good looked settled time
(Shields) looked great, looked sharp. Shields was spotting everything where he wanted it. Seth started a little jittery, probably because it was his first time out. But he settled in and made some good pitches. He has a good fastball and a good, old-school breaking ball.
happened past win
I did nothing wrong. The same thing I said after the game. It already is in the past. It happened a day-and-a-half ago now. We've got to win today.
framework start starts wear
It starts to wear on you by the end of the day. You start to get to know the person by sorting through their things, but then, it's just wooden framework left.
couple decided matter mental next past physical progress serious starts time
It's that and nothing else. He's decided to do that. It's just a matter of doing it next time . .... The past couple of starts he's really bared down and focused. I think he's really making some serious progress in his mental game. We all know he has the physical tools.
happen seen tough
It's very, very disappointing. I've never seen that happen before and it's really tough in this situation.
road took trip
At least we have a day off in New York. I've been on a four-city road trip that took us coast-to-coast before. It is what it is.
games
That's incredible. I just want to play in 84 games this season.
everybody fresh generally joe league leagues major reinforce simple slide spring square taken talent tend trying
You need to reinforce the simple aspects. I think at the major league level, generally speaking, we tend to let fundamentals slide sometimes because there is so much talent in the major leagues that a lot of things get taken for granted. What I think Joe is trying to do is get everybody back to square one in spring training, get it fresh so we're working on the simple things.
computer next rough suit wearing
I think what you see more with the computer thing now is two-game series. Those are rough things. You don't unpack your bag. You come in, you're wearing your suit and you wear your suit to the next game.
