A couple bad breaks, a bloop hit, then a groundball to third, ... I don't know how that's a hit -- the scorekeeper must not like me. (But) it worked out today. |

Absolutely, you celebrate it. How can you not? It's still amazing. |
Any time an umpire gets into an argument and won't call a strike, it's no fun. |
Everybody knows the situation we're in. |
Hopefully, it will happen because that will mean we're close enough (in the standings) to go ahead and do it. |
I don't care if the Rockies beat us, or the Padres or the Astros, or whatever. It doesn't matter who beats you. They're going to win some games. They're due. I mean, even the worst team in the league is going to win two out of three. |
I had good defense behind me and my off-speed pitch was working OK. I was throwing strikes. |
I just didn't locate pitches. All night I wasn't locating pitches. It's days like that you try to get through innings. |
I was just wild. Everything was middle of the plate. It happens. But my teammates supported me. They came through today. |
If he said I said that, he's lying. I told [Drake], 'Alfonso [blew] the call.' That's all I said, I swear. I didn't say anything derogatory. |
If I don't walk those guys, ... they don't score five runs. |
If I don't walk those guys, they don't score five runs. If they get three runs, we end up winning the game. A couple of pitches were close and could have gone either way. Unfortunately, they didn't go my way. |
In the first inning, I didn't have anything, ... My fastball wasn't right. Then I loosened up and threw pretty well the rest of the game. |
It seems to me watching, we're a better team than the Padres are. We just don't play the other teams as well. |
