Impressive. He beat the best team in baseball today. |
In his defense, ... you can't think that quick. |
It was weird, ... I was used to making a lot of right turns lately. I had to make three left turns around the bases. I got back to the dugout and everybody was yelling, 'Did you know where you were going?' |
It wears on you, man. This game is tougher here because early on it looked like we were going to take a beating, and we battled back, scratched and clawed our way back into the game and eventually tied it up. |
Personally, my MVP is Brian McCann, ... He's only 21 years old, but he comes in and we don't skip a beat. The pitchers have a lot of confidence in him, the way he calls a game. |

That made my career taking him deep, |
That might be the thing that gets him over the hump and lets him get through a lineup three times. |
The attitude with all the young guys is: What have we got to lose? |
The last couple of days, I've felt like I can really help this team, ... Last week, I wasn't so sure. I'm excited about the future and the playoffs. I think I'm healthy enough to help. |
The mere presence of him, whether he's going good or not, you have to give him respect. |
Things were kind of looking like we were going to have to face him. |
This was a legitimate perfect game, any way you slice it. |
We can't seem to put a streak together right now with this kind of win one, lose one, win one, lose one. That's not the way we want to go into the playoffs. We want to grab hold of this thing and hit full stride going into the playoffs. |
We could have easily swept this series and we left with a split, so it's kind of frustrating. |
