Do we feel lucky? No. Did they feel lucky when they won last night? |
Does it matter to me? Not really. He's not here anymore. He was great to have here. He did a lot for this team. But he's not here. He's on the Mariners now. |
For him, he likes to have it when he's on the mound. He's the type of guy that feels more confident when he has his velocity. You can see him looking up there to see where it is. |
For me, I put down the best suggestion I have and they throw it. They still have to execute the pitches. I kept yelling at Freddy, 'Stay aggressive. Stay after them.' That's all I can do. It's their game all the time, so I'm lucky I get to catch these guys. |
Great slide. They had to send both of those guys, because it would've taken a great play by two of us to get him. |
He was around every day in the clubhouse in Minnesota and was in spring training all the time. He was just a joy. He was fun and he was happy every day. |
He was like Michael Jordan up there. |
He's a great pitcher. He's a Hall of Fame pitcher. But he's got to throw the ball over the plate and we have to try to hit it. If he makes a mistake, we have to hit it, not miss it. We have to find a way to get deep into the game and get deep into the pitch count and get him out. It's not going to be an easy task. |
He's been so clutch. He loves that situation. He relishes it. He doesn't have any nerves. |
He's our big deadline pickup. He hit a homer to win a World Series game against his old team. He's a great pickup. |
I didn't do anything. I struck out. |
I didn't hear (Eddings) say anything. It was a tough situation and I ran. I was like, 'Well, if he calls me out, we'll try and shut them out for another inning.' Luckily, Joe hit one to win the game. |
I didn't hear him call me out. Do we feel lucky? No. |
I didn't hear him call me out. Josh didn't tag me. I think he thought he caught it. It was a tough situation. I ran. |
I didn't quite know he was going to turn into the teen idol he turned into. Back then, he had like a flat top, like he had when he first came over here. I never envisioned him with long hair, but I'm glad he did it because it made him kind of famous. |
