I'm really happy, really proud, that our fans stepped up and gave an unbelievable ovation for Baggy. He's not an overly emotional guy, but I know that touched him. |
I'm starting to believe, |
If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have a team, ... He kept the team in Houston. A lot of people don't understand that. |
If we're in [the pennant race], Rocket will be back. He can't just sit home and do nothing when he's able to pitch. We all know him. He loves to compete and his competitive nature will take over. I have a feeling he'll be back. |
It just clicked and made sense. [My hands] were off by a lot. With that being said, you have to make the adjustments. I feel comfortable again and I'm happy about that. |
It was a good pitcher's duel, but it would have been tough to waste that pitching performance by Andy. The biggest thing with Andy was getting his velocity back. Everybody in here knew that once he did, you're going to see what you saw before. When he's throwing that cutter at 83-84-85 miles an hour last year and getting away with it then, you could only imagine what it was going to be like when he started getting it up to 90-91. |
It was a great ceremony. The rings are great. It was a memorable day, up until the game started. Then we just didn't play very well today. All of us. |
It was execution, just doing the little things right in order to win. |
It was just Rocket being Rocket. He was just adding to his legendary status. |
It was killing him. He couldn't throw the ball as far as my 10-year-old. |
It was one guy who acted like a 12-year-old, who slapped her upside the head. I'm not going to sit here and hold all the Chicago fans accountable for this for one guy who was acting like an idiot. |
It would be nice to save him for last and then the fans could go crazy for two or three minutes. |
It would have been nicer if it was off someone else, I can tell you that, ... But we'll take the win any way we can get it. |
It's a good day. Hopefully, we'll play another month and really enjoy it. |
It's a great feeling, a tremendous feeling. But we haven't accomplished anything yet. |
