IT?S NOT AS EASY as putting up a sign. You really have to find an viable alternate route.
clutch crucial game record scoring three today took win wind
It was very, very crucial for us to win this game today because (our record would be) 2-4 and then we'd have to win three of four. Webber had a clutch hit. I think that kind of took the wind out of their sails. That was huge. Scoring with two outs, that's just a bonus.
felt people pushing
Sometimes it would just be two of us pushing each other, and you felt like you were going really fast. Having more people around makes you feel like you're not doing something impossible.

We've got some good pitching and we're going to play good defense. If can just keep swinging it the way we have been we're going to be pretty good.

We have more diversity. You can't expect (English-learners) to do as well as others. Like if I went to Mexico, I would fail all their tests.
You kind of just have to go with the flow.
chance guys means quality remember single starters time win
Having two quality starters means everything. We have two guys who we feel like give us a chance to win every time out. I can't remember a single time when they didn't give us a quality start.
guts
If they've got the guts to do it, you can't really say anything about it.

We are judging individual members, because a band is the sum of its parts. The band depends on the ability of its members in order to make it, so why not reward the best of the best?
