That's pretty neat. Those are some pretty good names.
It was ugly from the get go. We played like we were tired.
How can you beat this? New ballpark. Beautiful day in St. Louis. And then you look out there and see the Gateway Arch.
It was a special day for the team. It was just meant to be our day.
He threw the ball good today. I remember facing him when he was in Toronto. He's a competitor. He throws three pitches for strikes.
It takes time, especially when guys are 22, 23 years old. You have to learn how to be successful. It's runners in scoring position with two outs. It's pitchers in tough situations making tough pitches.
After my first two at bats, I had to make a little adjustment. He was throwing me nasty cutters and I just came out and laid off of it. I got to 2-0 and tried to go the other way and play my game. He made a mistake with a fastball up, but I'll take it.
Not a good idea. I told him to keep it quiet.
He was impressive. His demeanor never changes. It doesn't matter if he's getting hit around or if he's cruising; he looks the same out there.
I wasn't getting hits but I felt like I was swinging the bat OK. I wasn't striking out. I was comfortable up there, so I wasn't really worried about it.
