ball bit great hitting
It was a back-and-forth battle. They have a great team. They're hitting the ball well. We just hit the ball a little bit better.
defensive good great reactions speed tough watching
He's a tough little hitter. He's got great speed. He makes good contact. Watching him on the defensive side, watching him go get the ball, he's pretty awesome. He's got good speed there. He's got very good reactions to the ball.
great guys hitters learning mistake paid
He's learning. He doesn't know the hitters yet. He made a mistake and paid for it. He's going to get guys out more often than not. He's got great stuff.
broke shows stayed wake
The way I look at it, when Wake got hit, he probably could have broke his shin and he still would have stayed in the game. He wanted to be in there and he wanted to win. It shows a lot what he's made of.
criticize maligned people taken
I've never been in a bullpen, in my 15 years, that hasn't taken criticism, or been maligned or something. People are going to criticize what you do.
fastball field guy hit left middle trying
I was trying to go fastball down and away. You don't want the guy to hit the ball to left field with power, and he's got some power. Dougie set up down and away. The ball was middle up, and he just tomahawked it.
closer fastball plate rode
I was going fastball away and just overthrew it a little bit. It kind of rode back closer to the plate than I wanted.
affected bullpen storm year
It hasn't really affected us that much. We've had our own storm going on in the bullpen all year long, so nothing's different now.
achievement maybe nice
Maybe I'm not as old as I think I am. It's an accomplishment. It's a nice stat to have.
fat
He's a fat guy. He's a big fat guy.
chance edgar mistake ninety percent pick save turn
Ninety percent of the time, Edgar is going to turn that over. That's part of the game. I had a chance to pick up his mistake and save a win.
everybody good level
Basically, ... he was back to his own level today. For everybody in this room, it was good to see.
champion deep happened happens maybe seen tends win
What happened to us happens to every champion. We've seen it in basketball. We've seen it in football. We've seen it in boxing. You see it in every sport. Every champion tends to not necessarily relax, but I think maybe you win and you feel like you can take a deep breath.
fighting games year
We're not 10 games back. We're a half-game back. We've been in first place or fighting for first place all year long. This is not season-ending by any means.
