As a visiting player, it's motivating because you hear their fans get all excited and you want to quiet them down. And that's what we did tonight.

The throw wasn't even close. I threw it behind the runner. A good throw gets him definitely. I just tried to rush it. In that situation, you know the bunt is coming. You've got to execute. Get the one out and go from there. I failed to do that.
good close situation
I was really just hoping to keep the guy from going to third with a chance to score on a sac fly. But at the same time, that guy's only the tying run and not the winning run, so you can't sacrifice making a mistake to put the winning run on.

I looked at the guys that are on this team, the chances of winning (and) the makeup of the guys

I'm not only coming back to a city I'm comfortable with, but a team that looks like it has a good chance to win.

A lot of teams won't spend money on their bullpen and figure they'll [win] with their offense. [The bullpen] is a very important part of the game that I think is overlooked.
money game offense part important teams
When those guys are healthy, we have four No. 1 starters in that rotation. I don't know if there is another team that can say that.

I definitely investigated closing. I had opportunities to go other places, get paid more money and close. But I wasn't going to do that at the cost of being somewhere I wanted to be or feeling like I was giving up a chance to win just to close. That's why I ended up choosing here. I felt it was the best situation for me and a good chance to win.

It's one of those things that if we came in as well as we've been playing and they beat us, they would look at us like, 'See, we told you so,.. But for us, we need to win ballgames no matter who it is against.
win things matter beat
As a setup guy, if people are talking to you, obviously you did something bad. Otherwise you go unheard of. I guess that is a good thing.
