Pitching against the Red Sox's lineup in that historic ballpark ... it's going to be fun, ... I think all of us are up to the challenge. |
That was a big plus. |
The main thing is just, the slider I was throwing, everyone was hanging right down the middle. It's frustrating on the mound. |
This is a dream for me, it really is, to be the leader of a staff going into the season. |
This was completely different. That was a game of importance and our entire team responded. This was about getting work in. I felt fine except for making a lot of pitches in the first inning. |
Unbelievable. He just looks so comfortable at the plate. I've never seen anyone so right there with everything. He always has his game plan right on point. |
Us in the late innings -- we're tough, real tough. You know that they're going to break out. It's a good thing to see us not giving up in the late innings. |
We all know their situation, ... We came in here knowing we're facing a very hot team with a lot on the line. That's why this was a good win. But we've been playing all the contenders very tough for the last couple months. |
We can have a big effect on the outcome of the season, so it is fun to be in the mix. |
We have an aggressiveness to us. It's like we're playing backyard baseball. It's a fun way to play. |
We're enjoying the role we're in right now. Hopefully, we can make a difference. |
We're kind of jelling a little bit. It's getting fun. |
When I want to bury something, I need to bring it. Instead of hanging it up there. |
