'We keep rolling' - Guardians take ALCS Game 3

Yeah, it was outstanding, again. Everything we could ask and more, you know, kind of one mistake, and, you know, Simpson made him pay for it. But I thought Gavin threw the ball excellent. You know, it probably could have gone longer, but his velo started to drop there in the fifth, and what we just asked him to do over the weekend, out of abundance of caution and in fairness to him, it felt like it was time to move away from him. Like I said, he probably could have kept going, but with the velo drop there in the fifth, we just wanted to be as safe and smart as possible. He's ready. He's ready for whatever we ask him to do. You know, he got called up when everybody got hurt, and he played an everyday role for us for a while, and then it kind of turned into a defensive replacement, and then kind of filling in for injured guys. He just wants to play, and he wants to contribute. And, you know, for him, I don't feel like any moment ever gets too big for him. He's just ready, and he loves playing, and he wants to help the team win. And so it's really fun when you see somebody like that step up for their teammates. What's it like in the dugout when something like that happens? I mean, we all go nuts. I mean, you see it with every postseason team. These guys want to win, all these teams, you know, and we're no different than anybody else, and it gets exciting. Everyone's playing to win the game, and when one of your boys steps up and gets a big hit, especially a Petey who, like I've mentioned all year, has become somewhat of a leader on this team, and funny as that sounds with just a little bit of time, but the boys really respond to him, so that gets us juiced. I do want to hit it good, and I thought I got more of it, I guess, and maybe I was a little tense and when it got out, I kind of threw it, but it's only got to go, you know, a little bit over the wall. It was awesome. You get to feed off of each other, right? You know, when anyone does their job and gets the job done and puts us in a position to win, like, everyone on the team's juiced. It's not about me or, like, that home run, but it's just the fact that we're winning and we keep rolling. That's a good question, actually. I can't pinpoint it. I just keep telling myself, don't let the moment get too big. Take your deep breaths when you need to and keep the heart rate down. Petey's the man. I mean, not even just the postseason, but throughout the regular season, he's done it. He's come up big in the moments we need him. And he's going to have a good career. He's going to have a long career, too. Yeah, I think everybody here is just gritty. They want to win. Everybody has a purpose. And that's the big thing is being gritty and knowing what you need to do in the right situations.
