INDIANS 7, RED SOX 3: A bounce here and there . . . »
October 17, 2007
Dustin Pedroia on possible double-play ball in the fifth inning:
“I was right there. I was playing up the middle and Wake just reacted. He knows I’m back there, but if he can get it then we turn two. It was just a tough break for us.”
Pedroia on the seven-run fifth:
“It happened quick. There were a lot of weird things. On that pop up to Youk, he slipped then I slipped and the ball was bouncing every where. If he catches that ball and the runner doesn’t go home, then maybe we’re out of that inning on the next batter. A lot of things just didn’t go our way tonight.”
Pedroia on Youkilis’s first error of the season:
“He’s been great all year. His defense is outstanding. He’s a gold glover in everybody’s mind.”
Pedroia on being down 3-1:
“We’re still alive and we have an opportunity to go out and play better. That’s all we can do right now.”
Tim Wakefield on his performance:
“It hurts. That one big inning cost us the game and I couldn’t stop the bleeding.”
Wakefield on the possible double-play ball:
“That ball back to me, if I let it go it’s a double play. If I catch it it’s a double play. It was just one of those things where the breaks went their way in that inning.”
More from Wakefield:
“Physically I felt fine. I felt the ball was moving good. The lead-off homer [to Jhonny Peralta] is really the only ball I thought they squared up in that inning.”
“We’ve got our work cut out for us and hopefully we can take this back to Boston and get in front of our home crowd.”
