He's arguably the best there is. Against him, you've got to scratch and claw the best you can. |
He's just a good dude that plays the game right. Grady just has a great way about him. First off, he's a great player, and he's going to be a great player in this league for a long time. He'll be one of those guys that doesn't really change, other than he'll be able to afford a few more things. |
He's pitched so well. We're frustrated. He's obviously pitched a lot better than his record. |
He's really good, and he was on top of his game tonight. |
I actually feel good at the plate. I'm working on things. |
I could barely touch his knuckleball all night, but got lucky enough a couple times. |
I didn't put up a good enough fight. |
I don't allow myself to think about that, ... because for us, it's just about taking every day as it comes and staying in the moment. You can't make up a four-game lead or an eight-game lead in one night. You can't win next week's games tonight. So that's what this game's really about — just staying in the moment. |
I don't know why we play better on the road. I really don't. Chalk it up to coincidence, I guess. I don't think we care where we play, which is a good thing. But you'd like to see our home record be a little better than it is. |
I don't know, I've never gotten off to one. It's a long, long, long year. It's definitely nice. |
I don't necessarily think it holds us back. But it's not one of the nicer [facilities] around now. There's not a lot to do in the area, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But every [Grapefruit League] game we play, it's a ways to get there. We're kind of off the beaten path. I think the closest games we play are in Kissimmee, and it's 40 minutes away. |
I don't think it was meant for us to win today. But I believe this will roll off our backs pretty easily, and we'll be ready to go at it again on Tuesday. |
I don't think you guys believe me, but we really don't care, ... If we play well, we'll be where we want to be. |
I feel much more comfortable. |
I got it clean. I had a good grip on it. I just threw it away. It's as simple as that. I didn't make a good throw, period. |
