Winning two games means absolutely nothing. We don't get caught up in all that, even when it is the World Series. |
With a faster runner, I'll backhand it. With a very fast runner, I'll set, plant, catch, and throw. |
With Albert coming to the plate, ... you just felt good about the situation. |
Without a doubt, ... His location was unbelievable. You watch the film and he throws the ball up a lot, but today he was throwing the ball down, right at the knees, on the corners. He did a fantastic job tonight. |
Yeah, that's what people say. We'll see if that's true. But I know that in this lineup, I'm just going to do everything I can to get on base. That's my job. |
You can't go up there swinging if (the pitcher) has just made an out or he's had a tough inning before, |
You get a pitcher to throw eight balls in a row like that (actually eight balls in nine pitches), and it can be hard for him to get back in the zone. |
You just try to see the ball up ... His ball has so much sink and so much run, I just try to get as close to him as possible and try to take away that late break. |
You just want to find some way to help the team. I know it wasn't really pretty but it just found a hole and I was able to do the job. |
You like to win the game but there's something about the squeeze play. It's do or die. I get more opportunity to do that, too. |
You play this game to get a ring, and anything less, it's very dissatisfying (not to get one) once you've tasted it. Our club's hungry because a lot of guys haven't gotten the ring. You can see that in the last three games we played (all victories). |
