I assume the Adrenalin will be flowing. If it's a close game and we have a chance to win the championship, it might seem like the World Series. I have no idea. I've had guys tell me the feeling is pretty special.

I assumed runs would be tough (to score) just because of the time of year. Pitching is going to get the best of hitting right now. It's tough on hitters when you're facing a new pitcher every time up.

However you get it done. It doesn't make a difference.
I can only argue so much; he still makes the lineup,
I don't need to sell Rocket on coming here. He knows what it's like. He enjoyed his time here.
He always messes with the lineup. The thing is, it doesn't matter if you hit 1, 2, 3 or ninth, you still have to have good at-bats.
You're going to win more games with pitching than you are with offense. Our pitching staff seems to have settled in pretty good. They're throwing the ball well.
It looked like some people might have been scared. It's something I think everyone will remember.
It's hard for me to compare myself to Wright because it's two different situations. One of the biggest things for me was that we went to the World Series right away. That was a really big deal. If the team wins, everybody benefits.
It's huge. Hopefully he's healthy tomorrow and he can continue to go for us.
And if that happens, ... it'll be totally unfair. He's not playing. We are. It's our job to get it done. Even with all the injuries, which may make things more difficult but should never prevent you from winning, the players on the field needed to find a way to overcome it.
And I don't know about the whole lack of playing together. It's still baseball, still a team game, but individuals have to do their jobs.
