Wakefield was probably as good as I've seen him. His ball was moving all over the place. We could have been out there for another three hours and I don't think we'd have gotten any more hits off him.
I think if he plays (in the WBC), he's healthy, he feels good in terms of condition-wise and physically, I think he'll play.
I was pretty good at math growing up. I don't think too many guys were aware of it.
We need to play well. We have to go out there and continue to play with the intensity we have and hopefully it will be good enough.
It goes without saying how special a player he is, what he represents in the game. So it was an honor for me that he wanted to take a picture. He wanted to take a picture with me? It was definitely a good feeling.
It's easy to play when you score 15 runs with Randy Johnson pitching. But it'll take a while to find out how good we really are. But I like what I see so far.
Their pitching staff is as good as any team in baseball. You don't want to fall behind them, but unfortunately, we did. We were able to scratch and claw for a couple of late runs.
It's a mistake. People are going to make mistakes. He obviously did a good job blocking it out.
They don't beat themselves. They're pretty good at limiting mistakes. I think they're a test for most teams.
This doesn't happen too often. We were right in the position we want to be in in the ninth inning, with Mo. Even when they got the first couple of guys on, we still like our chances. ... He made a good pitch, the guy just found a hole.
It's not that hard to figure out. I was always good in math.
They've got a good team. I know their record doesn't say it, but they've got guys that are really starting to play well. They have a lot of confidence, especially against us. They have guys who know how to play.
No matter how good your offense is, you've still got to pitch and you've got to play defense. We didn't have any problem scoring runs last year.
Any way you can get it done now. Robbie put down a good bunt to get the runners over. It seems like every at-bat is important at this point in the year.
