Barry is going to be under constant scrutiny. For the last 15 to 20 years, he's been the face of baseball.
I lost track of how many at-bats we had today. After seven or eight at-bats, the bats starting getting heavy. Guys hadn't eaten since 10 or 11 this morning. It takes a lot out of you. You've got to gut it out. They did. I wish them luck. They played an outstanding series.
I have been hearing forever how this team or that team is going to beat us. No one's done it yet.
What's astounding to me is not that the guys have come up and helped. It's this year, guys have come up from Double-A and not (just) helped - I mean, they've produced. That's been shocking. You get a couple guys from Triple-A come up and help, that's very, very lucky.
Unbelievable year. It's like almost everybody had amazing years, including guys who weren't even in camp with the club.
To have it happen after a colossal breakdown in our bullpen again, it was big. You've got to pick each other up, and we did it today.
You have to have the desire to succeed and you can do that without cheating. Well, some people can.
We'll just wait and see how it feels. Right now, I feel like my ankle took the brunt of it.
We just have to wait and see how the pain is the next couple of days. Right now I feel the ankle took the brunt of it.
With a guy like Edgar, a good situational hitter, we'll be fine.
We don't want to go home and have everybody say that this team didn't accomplish what it should've accomplished.
To this day, I still don't know how he does it. He kept sticking guys out there and giving them confidence.
Both teams had significant players out of the lineup. But anytime you've got the first three guys in your lineup out and win two out of three, with a chance to have won the third one, it's pretty darn good. We'll take it.
It stings a little bit. You can't keep losing games like this down the stretch. The other teams in our division are playing some pretty good baseball.
