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.
dreaming guys home last leagues
This is what we all come to do. Guys don't come to the big leagues dreaming they'll be in last place and go home at the end of September.
dominating guy hitters ninth people stands works
He's a young guy who works hard. He's not just scraping by in the ninth inning. He's going out there and dominating hitters and people in the stands want to see that in a ninth-inning guy.

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.
full ground guy inches reacting replace seven six took toughest
The guy took a full swing, so I'm reacting to a full swing. As a pitcher, that's one of the toughest things to do. ... I think I went six or seven inches into the ground when I dove. I had to replace my divot.
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.
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.

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.

Maybe I'm not as old as I think I am. It's an accomplishment. It's a nice stat to have.

He's a fat guy. He's a big fat guy.

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.
