Oct. 6 Jose Bautista & Marco Estrada postgame interview
- Updated: October 7, 2016
Q. Marco, what did you kind of think of the atmosphere and how loud the fans were? And kind of as the game went on were you conscious of how quiet it got as you were putting on more runs and you were holding them to zero?MARCO ESTRADA: When you’re on the road that’s something you want to do is quiet the fans, and I think we did a pretty good job. Obviously we don’t want any momentum on their side, and obviously scoring seven runs by the fourth that’s going to keep a lot of people quiet. It makes pitching a little funner, I guess. You’re able to make a little more mistakes, and I wanted early contact today and that’s basically what I did. I was able to go pretty deep into the game. Two outs away from finishing it. Unfortunately I couldn’t. But who cares, we won. That’s all that matters.Q. When you’re that close to the first complete game of your career on this stage and at this time, how much do you want it then and what are you thinking? When does Gibby come out?MARCO ESTRADA: I was looking at Gibby the whole time. I was yelling, I got it, I got it. He never really looked up at me. So obviously once you see him point that’s it, there’s nothing else you can do about it. I don’t really care, to be honest with you. We won. That’s all that matters.Q. Marco, where is your mom today?MARCO ESTRADA: She’s here. She’s here. My wife and two kids. My family’s here. My daughter had school and I told her this is a big game. I need them out here with me. And sucks that she’s going to have to miss a day or two. But it’s okay right now. She’s just in first grade, so…Q. Her name?MARCO ESTRADA: Brooklyn.Q. Jose, I’ve told you this before that you come across as a very proud guy. How do you feel right now?JOSE BAUTISTA: I feel happy that we won the ballgame. Coming off of having to claw our way back into the playoffs and the Wild Card game and putting up a lot of runs early feels good, especially when you’re backing a start like Marco had today.Q. You didn’t want to make it about you, but it seemed like the stadium wanted to make it about you. How did it feel to respond to that?JOSE BAUTISTA: Well, if you’re talking about the way I played, it …
