It's different. It's just so ... different. |
It's disappointing because we were so close, and we all know how tough it is to get that close. |
It's disappointing. We were so close. |
It's frustrating, no question about it. As good as our pitchers did to not be able to cash in is frustrating. |
It's frustrating, not to be able to cash in. We need to get over it. But I don't worry about us bouncing back. |
It's something you've got to do. |
It’s a little-kid feeling, ... You can’t believe what’s happening. You’re giddy. |
Kind of like the Super Bowl before the game. All the fireworks and the music blasting. |
My dad used to say all the time to go out and win this inning. It's one pitch, one inning, one game at a time. It sounds ridiculous, but people who are good at doing it have more success. |
My knee feels probably better than last year. Having said that, the knee really wasn't an issue (last year). My issue was rust. |
Obviously, we know the importance C.C. has to this team, so any time a guy like that goes down there is some concern. But you feel for him as a person more than anything. |
Opening day, you can't wait for it to get here and then you can't wait to get it over with so you can get into your normal routine. It's an exciting day in America. No matter what level you're playing baseball, even back in Little League, there's an exciting feeling about opening day from the moment you wake up. |
Our starters go deep into games so often that you almost take it for granted. Cliff gave us another strong one tonight after Scotty (Elarton) had one (Monday). |
Sometimes it takes guys a little longer. It's different for everybody, but he's definitely a guy we are fortunate to have on our team. |
That one was gift-wrapped, but when you score 11 runs in an inning you've got to do a lot of things right. It was pretty wild in the dugout. It was a pretty exciting atmosphere. It was like a little kid's feeling. We were giddy. You can't believe what's happening. |
