ball definitely game guys hit patient pitcher pitches quality top
They are a lot like our club. They take quality at-bats. They are patient and they have an idea about what they are doing and the pitcher they are facing. They've got speed. They've got some guys who can hit the ball out of the park. They have got quality guys from top to bottom, and you've definitely got to be on your game and make quality pitches to get these guys out.

You hope that you win. But when you're talking about the quality of seasons those other guys had, there's nothing you can say about it (if someone else won).

We have five guys who have been here before. At this point in the season, if you don't have a guy on the mound who believes that he can be that No. 1 guy, you're not going to have a whole lot of success. We have five guys who can go out there and win at any time.

There were a few guys in here that went crazy just like they did out there. It was a great ending.

He fits in good. Sidney has a lot of fun. He brings that aspect to the other four of us in the rotation. He makes us enjoy being together a little bit more. We're the more serious types. He's definitely a different guy when he comes to the park and it's his day to pitch. He's serious, and you know he's ready for his day. But in between starts he keeps us laughing. It's fun to have him around. Everybody in here is pulling for him. When you're around him, you can see he's a nice guy, and he's here to compete and win.

Their guy did a pretty good job tonight, obviously.

I'm confident in my stuff, I was confident in my delivery, I was confident in the pitches I made, it was just one of those nights. I think guys are eager and ready to get going, and I'm one of them.
