ball error gave hard rattled runs seen three tough understand worse
They gave him an error on that? That was a tough play. The ball was going away from him. How we were able to get three runs in that inning was hard to understand for us. But I don't think he was rattled after that play. When you're a closer, you've probably seen worse things that that.

I still can't believe it. What an awesome weekend. I don't know what's going on.
fisher foot mile quarter red rock skinny tent unto wilderness
The tent is at the foot of the Fisher Towers, spires of skinny red rock set in a wilderness a quarter of a mile from the river. Intermission is at sunset, a show unto itself.

Sometimes when you try like that, things tend to go both ways. Sometimes you're really good and sometimes you're really bad.
focused fun great happened means moving team
The one thing I like about this team is as great as it was, as fun as it was, there's no real celebrating what happened today. It means we're focused and moving on.

The offseason is the 'on' season, ... I try to create an atmosphere that's tough. When the season starts, you're thankful.

Some people, like myself, consider life beginning at conception. For me, besides my education, my morals and ethics are the most important assets I bring to my job.
ball base flying job maybe partly running second stop
I couldn't get the ball to second base like I wanted to. It's partly my job to stop the running game. Maybe I'm tipping off something in my setup. I have to keep them from flying all over the place.
baseball believe change hard home increase
I don't think the baseball was ever changed. It's hard for me to believe they could change the baseball to increase home runs.
patrol return run
He's not able to return as a patrol officer, because he still has weakness. He wouldn't be able to run after and apprehend a suspect.
ball believe close great johnny sudden
I couldn't believe it was going to be a close play, and all of sudden he (catcher Johnny Estrada) had the ball before I even started sliding. It was a great play on their part.
breaking looked panicked run saw taught threw
You're taught to run at him every time. I panicked and threw the ball. I looked up and saw Rollins breaking and I threw the ball.
