Robbie's hit was huge. That's the benefit of playing on the road. You come out and get the chance to hit before the other team comes to the bat.

Results are what count now. At this point in the season, it's just like the playoffs. Who cares what you did before?
Player-wise, we just try to make it another game. But it?s kind of hard to do that when you have the electricity at the stadiums. The fans play a huge part in setting the tone for the series.
Physical mistakes happen and they took advantage with their speed. I've made errors to lose games before. I'll probably do it again and he'll probably do it again.
He was throwing strikes, that's the thing. You try to be patient, but if he's throwing strikes with it, you find yourself in the hole.
He has nasty stuff. He was throwing inside and made me go to right. I guess I was due.
He has been big. Today was as wild as he has been, and he still found a way. He gives us an opportunity to win every time he goes out on the mound.
He has his own feelings. You've got to understand his feelings. He's the owner of the team. He doesn't want anybody to get hurt. He's entitled to his opinion. He's the boss. He's always had his own opinion and he always will.
He did a great job. He just kind of teased the strike zone, throwing borderline pitches and making you chase them. It shows you that if you have good pitching, it stops good hitting.
He was hot and it came at the right time.
He was running around the bases so much, maybe he should be a leadoff hitter.
He can play. He has an approach, and he sticks to it. He can pretty much do it all.
He doesn't know what the crowd is going to do in Boston. He does not know.
