care excitement playing point
I think that's still part of the excitement of being out there. If I get to the point where I don't, then I don't need to be playing anymore. So at least I know I still care about it, and it matters, and I want to do well.
age age-and-aging difficult hard offensive stay win
I think it's just getting to be an increasingly difficult thing to do in the day and age we're in now, ... More than anything else now, I think it's just the offensive explosion. It's so hard to stay in there and win games.
active repetitive
His was more active and repetitive than mine,
billy late security
Having Billy makes us a better team. He will give us a sense of security in the late innings.
certain fight likely needs
He needs to know what I'm likely to want to do in a certain situation. I don't want to fight with him to get to a certain pitch.
equal race talent team
We can. I've said all along, our talent is equal to that of any team in this race. We just have to do it.
excited happened saw team year
What may have happened in the past, it doesn't matter. This is a different year and a new team that's constructed a different way. Today, you saw what it is that we're excited about.
care eat pioneer pitch roger
Roger is the pioneer that showed us that if you eat right and take care of yourself, you can pitch into your 40s.
deals directions echo followed game hope last major map pleased road team together wagner
I echo those comments. No question, Wagner has made us a much better team than we were last year. There's no guarantee, we still have to play, but we have to be pleased with what we have. We made two major deals and did as much as I think we could have done. It's awesome. I'm excited. They put together a game plan, a road map to success, and we followed the map very well. Now I just hope the directions are up-to-date.
against deal less mean pitching pittsburgh players
I won't say it doesn't mean anything, but it's not as big a deal as it was because there are less and less players who are there when I was. Pitching against them will always mean something. It's not like me pitching against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
games guys striking three worth
I was tired. Striking out all those guys is a lot of work. That's just not my game. That's three games worth of strikeouts for me, but it's fun.
fifth ground guys hard hard-work realized striking tired
I was tired (in the fifth). Striking a lot of guys out is hard work. I realized in the fifth I didn't have a lot of ground outs.
ball double found hit hop position second stayed sure throw top trying turned
I was getting in position to throw to second when the ball stayed down. I just didn't get the hop I was anticipating. After it hit the top of my glove, I was just trying to make sure I could get one out. I don't know if we could've turned the double play, but I would like to have found out.
catch expecting hop momentum reached toward
I was expecting a hop I didn't get, and when I started to turn, I didn't catch it. My momentum was going toward second, and I reached for it and didn't get it cleanly again.
