I just think that's the way he is. But he got to be such a big phenomenon - for his whole career, basically. I don't think he ever became entirely comfortable with that. |
I made an adjustment too quickly. It worked for a little bit, then I couldn't get back where I wanted to be. |
I never thought I'd be here, so it's kind of special in my own little way. When you come up playing in this game, you don't really know what you're in for, so you're fortunate to have a career like I've had. I never thought I'd be where I'm at. It's a nice milestone for me. I really never thought I'd get this far. It's nice. |
I really wasn't worried about Scotty because he was never really complaining about his shoulder. As long as he's not hurt and not complaining about his shoulder, he's going to be fine. |
I saw his postseason record was 1-5, and I was really surprised, ... I remember some of the games he pitched -- two hits, one run against Arizona a couple years ago. He's a big-game pitcher. |
I think Brad, to me, is the best closer in the game. His stuff is way above average, and he's got a good idea what he's doing. He's still kind of new to the league, and guys really haven't gotten a feel for him. But I think even if you have a feel for him, you still don't have much of a chance. |
I think it might be why I struggled in the World Series, |
I think this was a great game for both teams, I really do. |
I think when he came down I was still sliding and I caught his shin guard a little bit. It's not that big of a deal. |
I think, I've been trying to dictate where I want the ball to go. |
I was a little worried about how I would do today - we've been playing pretty well since I came out of the lineup - but I wanted to get in there and take a little pressure off Albert. |
I was just figuring it would be a double. It was one of those things, a break for us. |
I was just trying to get comfortable with how I was going to approach the end of my career. I wasn't asking for it. I was asking what the timing might be. |
I was scared at first. I thought, 'Oh, it'll go away,' and for two months it wouldn't. Shaking hands, stupid stuff like that, I was pretty sore. |
I was swinging the bat well in Chicago, had some good swings in Philadelphia but just not here. Putting the ball in play would be helpful. I just do something wrong and (the shoulder) gets a little sore. I take a bad swing, it gets a little worse. |
