along course games shown
Willy has shown that he can play in these big games all along the course of the season, ... He's come up big for us.
clearly factor game trying work
I thought he was going to be able to pitch, but it clearly swelled up on him. I think it was probably a little factor in the game in the way he was trying to work with it.
die game might until wait
I thought he might collapse, he's probably in the back right now sick. I told him he couldn't die on the field, he'd have to wait until after the game to die.
games saw stage stepped super tonight took trouble unusual winning
What you saw tonight is not unusual for Roy. This was a big stage and we've had trouble winning games in this park. He stepped up, and took control, and did a super job.

What worries me is that we've had three games that are stinkers. We didn't look good against Milwaukee and we didn't look good tonight. They pretty much took it to us tonight.

We had opportunities, that's what hurts. I just felt like this was going to be a game we were going to win.
both certainly critical field game glad good imagine line lose sides somebody win
I can't imagine a better game with as much on the line as this game and to have performances on both sides of the field that were as critical and as good as they were. It was unfortunate that somebody had to win or had to lose this game. I'm certainly glad we won.

I can't imagine, ... a better game with as much on the line as this game.
bounce course games lost mind question season tough
I don't know. We have lost some tough games in the course of the season and managed to bounce back. No question in my mind that we will bounce back and play well.
control game happy lead row turned won
If we had won 10 in a row to get a one-game lead right now, I'd be happy as all get-out. No, I don't like the way that game turned out, but we still control our destiny.
control course game turned
I didn't like the way that game turned out, of course not. Still, we control our destiny. We have to play hard, tighten it up a little bit.

I'd like to put on a better show. It's embarrassing to play like this in front of our hometown. It was just not a good game for us tonight.

No, I don't like the way that game turned out, but we still control our destiny.
