Fausto was incredible. He is the story of the day. |
I barely had time to get my batting gloves on. That was probably the earliest I pinch hit all year. It kind of caught me off guard. |
I don't have a formula for it. You give it your all, and you prepare in between. Half the battle is understanding that. |
I don't have a formula for it. You just prepare every day and try to be ready. We had lost three in a row, and I wanted to help out. I'm just glad the day went well for us. |
I was able to get back to the wall, get a gauge on it and I was actually almost kind of waiting on it to come down, make a good jump after it and bring it back. |
I was with Travis in Texas in 2002 and I saw it then. It was just a matter of time before he started doing this. |
In that situation, I was able to get back to the wall in time to gauge where the ball was going. It wasn't the toughest catch I've ever made, but it was the kind of thing where we're putting our foot down right there. |
Incredible, he's the story of the day, no doubt about it. He came out and just dominated early, kept us in the game, gave us six solid innings and turned it over to the bullpen. It was a nice win. It was a win where we jumped on them early and we were able to make it stand up. |
It's a life-changing amount of money for a lot of people. |
Sometimes when you get that opportunity, you're just hauling into the wall and it doesn't work out. In that situation, I was able to get back to the wall, get a gauge on it and make a good jump to try and bring it back. I was waiting for it to come down. |
We have survived, basically, all year on emotion and adrenaline. We're just trying to come up big. |
We kind of put our foot down, right there, and said, ?We're playing good defense, we're hitting and we're going to win this game. It looks good. They're fun. You love them. |
