With a guy like Edgar, a good situational hitter, we'll be fine.
There are a lot of egos in the clubhouse. For us to be successful, we have to put those egos aside and become good teammates and play the game the way we grew up playing it, pull for each other and genuinely be happy for each other.
I think chemistry is probably our greatest asset right now. It can only be a good thing. These guys are close knit.
Maybe some people in here thought we were going to glide into the playoffs, but it ain't going to happen. There are too many good teams in the league. We let an opportunity slide in this homestand.
From a team point of view, it wasn't a real good trip. But from an individual standpoint of getting to go out there and prove myself with some of the best players in the country and the world, it was very satisfying.
He's got 13 wins. That's a difference maker with the amount of injuries we've had to our pitching staff this year. We were able to dip down in the bullpen and have him start - good start after good start, five, six, seven innings every time out, giving us a chance to win.
It never feels good, but I've had a couple of heartbreakers where I could have won the game, but instead ended the season, ... You learn from that.
It's good to get us out to a lead. Unfortunately, that was pretty much it. It feels good to get back in there.
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.
It's good to see everybody respond. I think everybody got a hit tonight.

This organization is really in good, good hands for the next eight to 10 years.
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.
To this day, I still don't know how he does it. He kept sticking guys out there and giving them confidence.
