I had a chance before to drive runners in, and I didn't get it done. Fortunately, I got a second chance. All I wanted to do was get it on the ground in the outfield somewhere. |
It does feel a little different with this veteran lineup. Everybody's been through it all before. |
That strikeout wasn't what lost the game. We didn't execute earlier. You leave the bases loaded, and that really hurts you. |
That's been our problem with us all year. One pitch was the difference in the game, and we just couldn't get it going to score some runs. |
That's something we've been struggling in all year. We had a couple of chances to win it, but give them credit. |
We won by one run, and while we'd like to put more runs up, Brooks did a great job. If he keeps doing that, we'll win by one run every game. |
When you go out there and throw strikes, no matter who you are, you're hard to beat. That's what he did. He had three good pitches working. He kept them in the zone, and that's what you have to do. |
