I'm happy where I'm at right now pitching the seventh, eighth inning ... doing my job and then watching Francisco (Rodriguez) come in and do his job. I'll be his setup man for the rest of my career. That's fine with me. I'm perfectly fine where I am. |
If we have a lead in the seventh inning and you're throwing him two innings and Frankie one, we're looking pretty good, ... Everybody knows what Escobar can do, and he's giving guys like myself and Brendan Donnelly some rest. And if you look at what we've done the past few weeks, we're as strong as we've ever been. That's a pretty good thing to have. |
It is ... not a feeling that you want to have, because when a pitch is a part of your arsenal, you don't want to lose confidence in it. |
It is always real good pitching and real good defense. There are pretty good pitchers on both teams. It is good baseball and it is fun to play against them. |
It was a real good time. I had a blast. I didn't want to be back here this early, but the overall experience was good. |
It's going to be a little strange to see him in another uniform. It hits home right there that it's a business. He put in a lot of work for this team, so you wish him all the best — but not on Wednesday. |
My walk really killed us, ... I didn't hit my spots with Posada and that really hurt me, putting Cano on second. |
My walk really killed us. |
That's a tough spot to put yourself into, with one of the best RBI guys ever. I wish he would have hit it a little harder. We might have had a chance to turn two. But Figgins made a nice play just to get the one out and keep it a one-run game. |
The starters are what make our team better. Our starting rotation is a lot better than what it was in 2002 -and you've got a right fielder who makes us a little better, too. |
There are a few guys around here who think he is the best hitter we face. And I'm one of them. I have no clue how to get him out. Every ball he hits, he hits hard. |
This is the Garret we know, |
We knew it was going to come down to the end, and we came out on top. All we want to do is get there and see if we can do some damage. |
We're happy to be on that flight last night. It's just something that's part of what we have to do. |
You can see it on video, and someone might even point what you're doing. You still have to go out and perfect it and work on it and execute the pitch. You find a way to get it done. |
