billy chance knew realistic signed since won year
We've won every year since I've been here, but now I think we have a realistic chance to do some big things. When I signed here, I knew Billy would do what it would take to win.
eighth good ninth seventh strength
We've always had good (closers) in the ninth inning. But the seventh and eighth has been a real strength for us this year.
shake
(The opener) was probably more disappointing for the fans. We were able to shake it off.
board guy hurt key needed redeem run spot starting whether
Regardless, we needed to get something on the board with that at-bat. I'm the key guy in that spot to make something happen. I didn't come through. It hurt us right there. We have to get a run in, whether it's a flyball or something else. In that situation, I'm the person you want up there -- I'm the person I want up there. Hopefully, starting tomorrow, I'll have opportunities to redeem myself.
happened last miracle regardless sweep year
Regardless of what happened today, we've got to sweep. We'd need a miracle going for us to sweep them, but you never know. It was a miracle last year with Boston.
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.
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,
spring training veteran
Spring training doesn't matter. Stats don't matter. You take that time, especially the veteran guys, to get ready.
hurt key needed situation
That was a situation where we needed to get something on the board. That was a key at-bat, and I didn't come through. That really hurt us. I wanted to be in that position.
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.
dictate feeling gonna next scoring
I think we're back into feeling comfortable about scoring runs. I think hitting's really gonna dictate how well we do next month.
