“It's a game of inches, I guess, ... It leaves a bitter taste in your mouth a little bit and makes you realize once again that this game isn't really fair. I don't know what to say. I take full responsibility. I blew it.”
“He was great, ... I think all of us knew he was going to be fine. He's got ice water running through his veins. It's unfortunate that we weren't able to help.”
“It was a change-up down and in, where I wanted it, ... I don't know if he was looking for it. You've got to tip your cap to him. That's not fun to do. He stayed back and just flicked his wrist. Strong guy.”
