It hit right on the edge of the dirt and the edge of my foot, ... I didn't hear anything. It was a really marginal ball off my foot. It barely nicked my foot...and took a funny bounce. I reacted and took off running. None of the umps really had a good look at it. I would have liked to hear foul ball from the get-go and get another shot with the bases loaded. I'll sacrifice that at-bat to help us break out that inning though.

It hit right on the edge of the dirt and the edge of my foot. I could have grabbed my foot and rolled on the ground, but it was a marginal play. It took a funky bounce. I didn't hear any call (from the umpire), so I knew I had to run.

It's been awhile. I knew it was still there. That's a big load off my shoulders. I'm a mellow kind of guy, but I was fired up.
|
It's something I've dealt with. My whole career here, I've never really played every day.

That was the perfect situation to be in. I didn't start the game, but I got a chance to be up in a situation where I can put our club ahead with one swing.

This was about the CD. First time, you know. I was a little nervous at first, but once I got up there and saw how the crowd was, it was like I just kind of interacted with them and had some fun.

Victor's forearm hit me in the neck. It was like a clothesline. When it happened I couldn't swallow or breathe for a while.

We had momentum. We got good swings and put up numbers tonight.

We haven't been really getting beat; we're right on the fringe of winning. Cream rises to the top. Hopefully, we'll do that tomorrow. We've been right there on the edge. No one on this team is folding the towel.

We've all heard about how the Cleveland crowds used to be. Hopefully, they'll come back.
|
We've already got a ton of pressure going out there. We can't start worrying about that we have to win this and we have to win that. We just had to go out there and try to get a run.
|
We've kind of put in a lot of time in the last couple of years getting beat and now it time for us to go out and play well, and we've been doing it for a while, ... It's been a lot of fun. We've just got to stay focused and finish strong. We control our own destiny. We're not going to have to depend on other people right now. We just have to play good baseball a little more than a week and see where we're at.

You can't help but think about those games, but we don't obsess about it. If you think about it, in this game because the season is so long and we play so many games, that's all you can do realistically.
