AL Divsion Series CWS v HOU

You get the ball in Game 1, and your team is expecting this from you, They're expecting you to come out, have energy, attack the zone, give them a chance to win.

Lance McCullers

I didn't try to do too much with it, just tried to drive the ball the other way where it was pitched and ended up going for a homer. That was huge for us to put up a five-spot there.

Kyle Tucker

We know we got some offense, and if we can hold them down, we know we got a shot, sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't, but, I mean, it was electric in that dugout. Nobody was giving in.

Tony La Russa

This was a heck of a series. It was a downer night before last [when] we got beat pretty badly, but on a daily basis, they don't take one day into the next unless it was good. You know, I love this team, and the city loves them, and that's what counts.

Dusty Baker Jr.

You can’t take playing in the postseason for granted. You’ve got to love it and cherish it. To be able to go back to a fifth straight ALCS with the guys is special. We’re definitely going to soak it in with them.
