“[Hitting coach Greg] Walker showed us before the game that he gets most of his outs on inside pitches. We were looking for pitches out over the plate and looking to take them up the middle or the opposite way.”
“He still can be just as dominating when he wants to. I think sometimes now, when he makes a mistake, it may get hit a little bit more often, because he doesn't throw 98 or 99 now. But he's still a dominating pitcher.”
“I didn't realize it was up around my shoulders. If he makes that pitch 99 more times, I probably strike out 75 times and pop up the other 24 times. I just got lucky, I think.”
“I probably will go get a copy of that film and keep it, just so I can say I did it one time. Honestly, in this game, you get lucky sometimes, and sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.”
