These are the two best teams in the National League, without a doubt. |
These guys have an unbelievable lineup, and basically every time I go out there, maybe because every hitter is so dangerous, it makes me have to focus that much more, ... I don't think I focus more on one team than the other, but for some reason lineups can bring out the best in people, and this is one of the teams that forces you to do that. |
They did a good job hitting mistakes. Obviously, it's a big disappointment. I felt good, but I couldn't get on top of my slider. I don't know if it was my mechanics or not. There's no excuse. I just made bad pitches. |
They feel like playoff games, |
They just did the little things it took. The ball Dye ball hit was a hopper up the middle, and he found a hole with it. |
This definitely is a good sign. I'd much rather have him here than anywhere else. |
This is a bump in the road, ... But no way is this going to get anybody down. |
This is a bump in the road, but there's no way this is going to get anybody down, ... This will sting a lot tonight, but when I wake up tomorrow I'll be ready to go |
This is going to be a great opportunity and I can't wait to pitch, ... I don't know if I've given up a bigger homer. I know I've given up a longer homer. But this job has a lot to do with turning the page. |
This is no All-Star or exhibition game. It's definitely a playoff atmosphere. There's no other way to describe it. It feels awesome to be out there right now. |
This is not as bad as it gets, ... We're still up 3-2 [in the best-of-seven NLCS]. If that were the seventh game of the series ... I guess that's as bad as it gets. |
This is the kind of thing that makes our team stronger. |
To come back from 15-30 I hope people will realize that this is a marathon, not a sprint. It's just a great feeling to make it all the way back. |
To get a win today was really necessary. This is a big lift for us. |
Tonight I made some bad pitches, ... They were hitting some sliders that were staying in the zone. |
