A lot of the games in the past, we kind of waited around for them to beat us. I think tonight we just hung in there and battled and then finished them off. |
He played fullback for me one year at Hart, ... He was a 240-pound fullback in eighth grade. But that shows that he has great feet. He really moves well. |
He was pretty sharp, ... He was making good pitches. It was a battle. My second at-bat, I had a battle with him, fouled off a bunch of pitches. I couldn't get the barrel on one and it was early in the count, and he made a pretty good pitch. It was down a little bit, but I was able to catch it out front. |
He's one of the best pitchers in the game, ... Every time he's out there, he doesn't make too many mistakes and tonight he didn't make too many mistakes. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap when you go up against some pitchers. |
I feel like we can't keeping putting ourselves in a hole and make the comebacks that we have. |
I think this team learned how to win. |
I thought there's no way we were going to be able to turn two. |
I understand why they would do it, |
I want to be one of the guys the team can count on. I'm certainly capable of improving off last year. |
I was just trying to do too much. Stupid play. Bad mistake at a bad time. |
I was trying to do too much, |
I was trying to do too much. There were two outs, [Williams] was going from the windup and I was trying to put a little pressure on him. I got further off than I should have. It was a stupid play. It should have never happened, a bad mistake at a bad time. |
If someone gets us going, we usually do all right, and if no one does by the sixth or seventh, we usually get shut out. The same thing happened (Tuesday) night. A couple of guys get it going, and you have a big hit. |
In Santa Rosa, there were a lot of Giants fans, |
It feels good. We've got a chance to close it out in front of our home fans and we've got our big three and those have been our guys all year. |
