There are so many games left, we just have to continue to work hard. We haven't hit the ball well all year. It's only a matter of time.
middle pitches plate threw
I think he threw a lot of pitches down the middle of the plate that we popped up.
both early frank playing start
I think Frank will come in early one day when no one's around and start playing it. They've both been great.
next
I still want to take it to that next level,
eighth hopefully ninth performance played poor won year
You can go back in the year and look at the seventh, eighth and ninth inning; we played well enough to win. We should have won those ballgames. ... Hopefully (the poor performance of the relievers) will be addressed this offseason.

We haven't been swinging the bats lately. Hopefully we can score five, six runs tomorrow and get our confidence back.

We were here all night, and it might happen again.
handled impressive performance seen stuff wall worried
I think the way his stuff was and how he handled the hitters, that was the most impressive performance I've seen here. He wasn't worried about the lineup, the (left field) wall or anything like that.
dictate hitting next week
Just a week ago, we couldn't find a hit. Hitting is really going to dictate how well we do the next month.
frank hitting
Jermaine said when Frank was in there, he was hitting everything out of the park. Everything is still there, the stroke, the vision. We just have to keep him healthy.
bottom games three
We've got to sweep. The door's still open. It's a little crack, but it's open. If we go 3-1, we're still two games out with three to play. We've got to sweep. That's the bottom line.
good shut stuff team wants
He's a big-game pitcher. You can tell he wants to be out there. He's got the stuff to go out and shut down a good team like that.
He's a big-game pitcher. You can just tell.
burden mockery months playing september teams vacation
We were made a mockery of in the first two months and here we are in September still playing for something. We've come through a lot. It's not a burden to be playing for the playoffs. There are a lot of teams making vacation plans.
