balls beach throw
I don't think it was where he wanted it. He doesn't throw beach balls.
jump
If we could jump out and play well early, you get some confidence. Then things kind of snowball.
ballpark believe certainty convinced
I'd like to believe so. No one can ever say with certainty who's going to go to a World Series. But you have to come to the ballpark every day convinced you are going to win.
felt jason knew stunned tagged walking
I felt like I tagged him pretty good, so that's what stunned me. I think Jason knew it, too. He started walking back to the dugout. Everyone makes mistakes.
hit per pitch
With him, you may only get one pitch to hit per at-bat. It was the first one, fortunately.
We all want to see our families. But you can't have everything you want.
actual ready teams themselves traveling
This way, we're getting an actual day off. It's a long season. Some teams kill themselves traveling on the off day. It'll be a long day (Sunday), but we should be ready to go (today).

Those people were yelling that at me all day long. I didn't hear them after a while. They didn't say anything.
shown team
We think we're a better team than we've shown this month.
against games hit hopefully pitchers tough toughest win
We do have a tough division. We have to play 54 games against the toughest pitchers in the league. Hopefully we can hit and pitch on the same day and win games.
believe care everybody
We believe in ourselves. We don't care what everybody else thinks.
bad certainly guys losing pitcher stop team type
It's unbelievable. He's been great. Every team has one or two guys who can stop those three- or four-game losing streaks. He's certainly that type of pitcher who can just stop a bad time.
behind everyday nice
It's not like it's an everyday occasion, ... It's nice that Adrian's behind me.
confidence decent games start supposed team winning
For me, it's all about the first 81 games. It's by then that you know what the team has for the most part. If you get to 81 games with a decent record, the confidence grows. You start winning games you're not supposed to win.
