club coming crowd games guys last nervous talking team
To be honest, this was probably one of the most nervous games I've ever pitched in. Coming off last year, the crowd was really into it. The guys on the other club have been kind of mouthing off, talking about how they were a better team than us. So I really wanted us to come out and do just what we did.
balls blowing clue cold difference flying last numbers totally wind year
Last year was totally opposite. My numbers - it's just one of those years. I don't know if the wind was blowing in or it was a little cold or the balls were flying out. If I did it every year, there would be something to it. But last year was totally opposite, so I have no clue what the difference is.
last people red slow yankees
I think people know what the Red Sox did to the Yankees last year, and with that lineup, we can't slow down.
again beat best everybody fourth last pick surprise team time wants
Any time your team wins, everybody else wants to go out and beat the best. We were the best last year, so everybody is gunning for us. It is going to be a little scary. I want everybody to pick us fourth again so we can surprise some people.
anyone came hustle last leaders mad might ready team
If he's such a team leader, then why is he on so many teams? He's on a different team every year. I really don't think he was one of our leaders last year. He came to the field, and there wasn't anyone else that came ready to play and hustle as much as he did during the season, but I think he might be a little mad because he's not on our team anymore. I don't know.
second
Without him in the second half, I don't know if we'd be here today.
anybody expected half hold knew liked month year
I don't think anybody expected us to play as well as we did in the first half all year long. We knew we were going to go in a little funk. We just had to hold it to a minimum. We would have liked to clinch about a month ago, but we're here and that's all that matters.
anybody expected liked month
I don't think anybody expected us to do what we did this year. But we're here, and we did it. We would have liked to clinch a month ago, but we're able to now, and that's all that matters.
center cheating field somebody whatever
To have somebody out in center field or whatever they're doing, that's cheating.
couple early happened nice offense runs starting struggling time work
Being a starting pitcher, you want to go out there and get as many runs early as you can. It happened a lot early in the season, and then the offense had been struggling lately. But any time you get a couple of runs early, it's nice to work with.
best chance five game games hope hoping percent spring starting team training win wins year
Being a starting pitcher, you want to be a 20-game winner. Every year you come into spring training hoping to get to that part. I've always said if I win five games and the team wins 90 percent of my starts, that's all I can hope for, give my team the best chance to win.
ball base caught heads josh mound paul run threw
First happened, I thought Josh Paul threw the ball to the mound like he caught it. It's a heads up play by A.J. to run to first base like that.
either glad looks seen situation time
Every time I've seen it, it looks like it could go either way. One time, he looks out and one time he looks safe. I'm glad I wasn't put in that situation to make the call.
ball deal game gotta guys love strike throw
I'd love to strike out 20 guys a game and throw the ball 95. But I don't have that. I gotta go out there and deal with what I have.
