Tony Plush Don't Give a Sh-- What the Score Is! Tony Plush Don't Give a Sh-- What Inning It Is!

Full post-game interviews transcript here. Solid gold.

Provus: Okay, what are you thinking there? 9th inning, you know the winning run is in scoring position in Counsell at second, you've got a guy you don't know much about, what's the approach, Nyjer?

Plush: Honestly, Cor, I thought we were winning... (laughs) and basically, I was just up there trying to take him up the middle and as soon as I got a hit I just thought it was a regular routine double down the line, and basically... I looked behind me and I heard the crowd yelling, and here come the guys coming off the bench and I was like, "Oh, I just walked 'em off..."

Provus: You had no idea what the score... are you kidding??

Plush: (laughing) No, I'm dead serious, man.

Provus: You had no idea that was a walkoff hit until the guys stormed out of the dugout?

Plush: Basically. (laughs)

Provus: Could you have... did you have any idea about (the pitcher)...

Plush: No, man!

Provus: Could you watch this guy, Rickie's in front of you...

Plush: No! You just gotta strap it on and go! I'm a ballplayer, just... I don't need to know anything, just throw that pill over the plate and I'll make it happen. (laughs)

Provus: What happened inside the clubhouse? After you guys won the game, you're back there for a few minutes, take us back there.

Plush: Oh, you know, I was just telling the boys what I just told you, that I thought we were winning 8-6 and... (laughs) ...and basically, I didn't know what was going on until basically the boys came on and got the little guy.

(Provus laughs like usually only Uecker can make him do)

Plush: Oh, shoot...
