good pitches tried
I got some good pitches to hit, but I tried to do a little too much.
expected good guess
I didn't really know what to expect. I guess I expected to feel good and I did feel good.
I'd kill myself if I wasn't here and we started winning.
baseball expect good knowing sitting stomach weird worse
I don't know what to expect. I don't know why baseball would make my stomach feel any worse than sitting on the couch. It's kind of weird not knowing what to expect. But I expect to feel good and I do feel good.
angles face
I wouldn't want to want to face him as a right-handed hitter. He comes at you at too many angles and at too many speeds.
Some of it is the pitching. Some of it is us.
felt job paid
I felt guilty, ... You get paid to do a job and don't do it, you have to feel guilty.
maybe next year
Maybe next year I'll have a better hunch.
chances couple help hits stayed
We stayed in it, but they did little things to win. We didn't do that. They had some big hits and, of course, I had a couple chances to help us out and didn't do it. It's frustrating.
good guys term
It's good to see, ... You always want to see the guys you're going to go with long term in there and see how it goes.
chances couple help hits
They had some big hits and, of course, I had a couple of chances to help us out and didn't do it. It's frustrating.
ask facial hair
I told him that he has more facial hair than I do. Of course, I had to ask if he was really 12 years old.
front slice
It wasn't going foul, ... You know when you get out in front and the ball's going to slice a little more. I wasn't in front of that ball.
heard leaves perspective puts
When we heard about (Barmes), we were thinking, 'That's terrible, what are we going to do,' ... Then the skipper leaves and his daughter's having seizures, and it puts it all back in perspective really quick.
