ball easy fun games gave great hard perfect playing rocket starting
We're starting to know what each other will do. It's fun playing with him. He's a great shortstop. It's hard to see in the day games here. The ball was a rocket at him. He made a great play and gave me a perfect feed. Then it was easy for me.
bunch clubhouse comparable good great guys playing reason row stretch turn won
It's pretty amazing. This stretch is comparable to when we won 20 in a row (in 2002). It's just a great bunch of guys in this clubhouse who really like playing together. There's such good chemistry, and that's probably part of the reason we've been able to turn it around.
best great incredible league looks pitchers
He's had a great year, an incredible year. He looks like one of the best pitchers in the league again.
bite great record swing tough understand
I can't understand why Westbrook's record isn't better. He has great stuff. His sinker is tough to get a swing on, and he had more bite on his curveball today.
bobby great guys hurt last stepped year
He's very valuable. When I got hurt he stepped in and did a great job. Last year when Bobby got hurt he did a great job. You have to have guys like that on the team.

It felt good to get the head of the bat on the ball. That whole inning was good.

Last year I had to prove a lot, and I feel like I was able to do that. Having this deal shows the organization has a lot of confidence in me. I appreciate that.

Sure, we had a lot of injuries. But a lot of teams have injuries. We can't use it as an excuse.
ballpark good liked lose ourselves pitchers position three threw tough win
Sure, we'd have liked to win all three. But it's a tough ballpark to play in. They threw three good pitchers at us. We still find ourselves in a good position. You don't want to lose a series. But the position we're in, we're OK.

That was tough today. But we definitely didn't give up. ... We're used to (late-season pressure). Pressure's only what you make of it. It'll be a lot of fun.

That was my biggest downfall as a hitter. I'd pop up to second at least twice a game.
