It's a momentum shift. I'm not saying I did anything great - I mean, it's just what we do - but it changed things. I think it maybe got some guys fired up. |
It's a relief. It takes the weight off the defense and lets us go out and relax. For a lot of us, this is our first postseason appearance, as far as a championship series goes, and you tend to tense up. |
It's just like what I told Raff when I went out to talk to him in the ninth. The pressure was on them. We were up three runs - the pressure wasn't on us. |
