The snow will be mainly confined to the mountains. |
The style of play will be to our advantage. They'll have to make the adjustments to us, as opposed to vice versa these two games. |
The turn (for the second baseman) is definitely the toughest because your back is to the runner, and you don't really see what's going on. |
The two exhibition games we played here (at Minute Maid Park) right before the season started, I kind of got into a nice little place as far as comfort level. I guess that's continued through the season. |
They made more pitches in big situations and got more hits in big situations. |
They must have made two good relay throws, ... I felt like I just beat it, and I'm pleased the umpire got the call right. |
This is about as good as it gets, |
This type of hit in this setting is a dream come true, ... It was a moment that was too short-lived and I won't have an appreciation for it for a long time. |
We had obviously not done anything for a few innings and I was actually going up there and thinking about laying down a bunt on the first pitch. Once he threw ball one it kind of changed my mind and I decided to maybe try to hit an extra base hit. I figured being ahead in the count, maybe I was going to get a fastball. Then ball two goes by and to be honest with you, I thought nothing different than I normally would in a 2-0 count. (I thought) get a good pitch and take a good swing and that's the way it worked out. |
We just didn't come up with the big hits. In the end if you do that, you're going to lose. |
We?re definitely pleased to take one game here and take the momentum, ... We?re excited to get home to our fans and that place will be rocking. |
We'd like to be more consistent as a team, and hopefully we'll score enough runs to give our pitchers a chance. We scored 10 runs (Wednesday), but if we don't come back (today) and put some runs on the board, what does it really help? |
We're going to see their guys. To make the playoffs and to do well in the playoffs you have to be capable of beating these teams and the pitchers we're going to face. Hopefully we put our best foot forward and try to keep the [Wild Card] lead. |
We've been working six days (a week) for a month. I just wish I had two more arms. |
Well, I was hardly the hero tonight, ... Roy was great - seven innings pitched and one run. He bailed us out quite a few times. Luckily, I was able to get a couple knocks. |
