People were yelling and all of a sudden I heard them. I figured it was time to go.
ball blink bring few game heard past people select struck throw time tough
You blink and it's in the mitt. He struck me out with a 101-m.p.h. fastball. I didn't really see it. I kind of heard it whiz right past me. Very select few people can throw the ball that hard. He's going to be a tough one. You're going to have to bring your 'A' game every time you see him.

We've had this stretch before, and we've bounced right back. The difference is, there's a lot more riding right now. We've just got to dig deep, keep plugging along and see what happens.

That was really neat, ... I never imagined that it would end up that way when the game started.
bases guy horrible last man mound
Last year, I was horrible with the bases loaded. I was like, 'Oh, man, oh, man,' I'd get jittery. Now, I'm not the guy who's in trouble, it's the guy on the mound who's in trouble.
bat level people swing talk wood
People always talk about having two different swings, an aluminum bat swing and a wood swing. It is one of those things where you have to make an adjustment. But if you want to play at this level you have to be able to do that.

Our hitters know what we're capable of doing. It's just going to take us a little time to get rocking and rolling.
clubhouse emotions guys pay people prove running starting
I think it's going to be awesome. I don't think there's any other way to put it. Emotions will be running high. All the guys in this clubhouse know what we have, and other people are starting to pay attention, so we'll just have to go out and prove it.
baseball card worried
He made a little adjustment. No one in here is worried about that guy. All you have to do is look on the back of his baseball card and know that everything is going to be all right.
