I took us from possibly winning the ballgame to losing it.
ball bottom breaking fastball focus great ground half hands hitters key main nobody open strike turn
Going in right there, you got first and second, nobody out and one of the better hitters in the game. My main focus was getting strike one. It's key to get strike one. Get the fastball in on his hands and kind of open up away. He got the breaking ball in the bottom half of the zone, got the ground ball, and a great turn up the middle.
ball ballgame chance fortunate ground pitches quality screwed strike tie
I get strike one, a ground ball back to me, and I screwed up, ... I was just fortunate enough that I was able to regroup, make some quality pitches after that to keep it a tie ballgame and give us a chance to win.

Battle. Battle. And get the hits when we need it.
bench game hit runner situation starts third throw until wait winning
Throw me out of the game right from the get-go. Don't wait until the other bench starts chirping. You have a situation where there's a runner on third with one out, I'm not going to hit anybody. I'm going to put the (potential) winning run on the bases?

We really didn't reach down to Memphis last year. This year we did. When the time comes to clinch, I think everybody will feel like they're part of it.
