Oct. 26 Kyle Schwarber postgame interview
- Updated: October 27, 2016
Q. This is not meant to be disrespectful to anybody else, but is this game that easy that you can take six months off and do what you’re doing? KYLE SCHWARBER: No, it’s not that easy, first off. Baseball’s a crazy game. It will do crazy things to you, but this is the moment that we all look for when we were little kids, to play in the World Series and win it. We just took a small step today, but we’ve still got a long way to go.Q. Kyle, did you get the 3-0 green light on your RBI single there? What did swinging on 3-0 at that pitch kind of do for you? KYLE SCHWARBER: Yeah, I had the green light. I just wanted a good pitch to hit. 3-0, really big advantage count for me, he has to throw a strike. So I thought if he just threw it over the plate and I put a good swing on, a good thing will happen, and there we go.Q. When you stop and look at this, 3-of-7, you were just the wind away from going yard yesterday, what do you think about your performances so far these two games? KYLE SCHWARBER: I’m just trying to put in team at-bats right now. I want to help this team get to the ultimate goal. That’s why I did all of this was for these guys in the clubhouse and for our organization. It wasn’t for me. So, like I said, I just want to put in good team at-bats every time I go to the plate and take that result.Q. You made your case last week after you got cleared by the doctors to try to play in the World Series. As you go into games 3, 4, and 5, will you make a similar type case to the front office to the doctors about trying to play in the outfield? KYLE SCHWARBER: We’ll see where it goes. Nothing’s set in stone. No one’s told me anything, so as of right now the story is still the same.Q. When the Cubs drafted you they were just about ready to kind of make their move into contention and last year they did. What were your impressions of them, and why do you think you and the organization connect as well as you do? KYLE SCHWARBER: Well, I remember when I was in college I had a meeting with Theo and Jason McLeod when we went to Arizona for a tournament. And they sat down and they interviewed me. It just kind of clicked. It was like we had the same beliefs in baseball terms. It’s all about winning. So that’s the only thing that matters at the end of the day is making sure that we get a win. Just go from there.Q. Do you think you’re ready physically to play defense? KYLE SCHWARBER: We’ll see. I …
