AL DIVISION SERIES: INDIANS v MARINERS

October 13, 2001

Freddy Garcia

Aaron Sele

AARON SELE: I felt fine. You know, made some good pitches. Really, the only bad pitch I felt like I made was the curveball that was up a little bit to Vizquel.

AARON SELE: Yeah.

AARON SELE: Oh, they do it the same way. Bryan just came down and said I was done.

AARON SELE: It really doesn't do anything, because like I said, I had not been on the mound yet. I was still going with my game plan, how I felt in the bullpen and everything, and I still had to go out and make pitches.

AARON SELE: No, it didn't unnerve me. It's very uncharacteristic of the way we played all year. Especially in the post-season, the way you win is with defense and pitching but it's uncharacteristic of the way we've played all year.

AARON SELE: Not overwhelmed and shocked. Like I said, it's not characteristic of the way we've played, but one thing that is characteristic is that we've shrugged off losses all year long, come back and played hard the next day. Guys come in early to get their works, they will be lifting and running like we always have and that's what we've done all year long.

AARON SELE: No, a loss is a loss, a one-run loss or a 50-run loss. A loss is a loss.

AARON SELE: No. One pitch to Vizquel, like I said was a curveball that was up a little bit that he hooked and one pitch to Alomar was a little up and that was a good piece of hitting, when he hit the double down the right field line. Other than that, it was just some singles.

AARON SELE: No. Skipper said I was done and skipper makes calls.

FREDDY GARCIA: I don't think so. Tomorrow is a big game for us. I'll try to do my job. I'll try to slow a lot of strikes and be aggressive with all those guys. Right now, they are really hot right now, but I've got to be aggressive and go out there and try to do the best I can, too.

FREDDY GARCIA: You know, like today, they hit pretty good. So tomorrow, they will be aggressive and I'll have to be focused on what I do and concentrate to throw my pitches.

FREDDY GARCIA: For me, it will be the same. I'll go out there and try to do my job. There's no pressure. I know it's a big game, but I'll try to the best I can do tomorrow.

FREDDY GARCIA: I think I'm going to be the same; try to throw a lot of strikes.

FREDDY GARCIA: Try to throw strikes, try to keep Lofton and Vizquel off the bases. I think that's what I will try to do.

FREDDY GARCIA: I don't know what time we're playing tomorrow. (Laughter.)

FREDDY GARCIA: I don't know. I don't remember. Maybe one month ago when we lost Sunday night here. We had a 12-run lead and we lost. It's about the same.

FREDDY GARCIA: A couple of guys, and Lou, just, "Be ready for tomorrow."
