My slider was really good to start the game. I realized that. Just throw it until they hit it.

He hit a slider where we like for Brad to throw it, and he got it up the middle. All along in this series, we talked about they were doing a nice job of hitting, and that was a classic case of it.

He's ridiculous. He's like Roy Hobbs. I'm waiting for him to come out of the bullpen and start striking guys out throwing 98 [mph].

I'm trying to figure out if I should throw a curve ball, or a slider.

It's the youth movement we have. A lot of young guys with a lot of passion. It brings the fun back to the game.

The guy came in with a 1-1 count that was a hard slider, and I hit it off my leg. I was thinking, next pitch he might go back to it again, so I backed off a little bit and really just fought it. It was a good pitch and, fortunately for me, I found the right spot to have it hit.
