They came in and did the job for us.
They were on a mission to win three ballgames. It's probably the first times this year we thought about sweeping a series before we played the first game, and we got it done.
When a guy is maybe on the lower end of the pain threshold, we have a tendency to maybe be a little critical of him and say what he should do and what he should be able to do. All I know is an individual knows himself and he knows what he is able to handle as far as pain is concerned.
We have to do whatever it takes right now, ... That's our rallying cry: whatever it takes. We have to put it together now. We can't win one, lose one, win one, lose two.
We had the ballgames. They were our ballgames to win, and we didn't finish them off.

We chose not to give him an MRI. The physicals should include everything.
We certainly know we're going to lose him for the next two to three weeks, that's for sure. And with that type of absence from spring training, there's no way he can open the season.
What's deceptive about a good changeup as far as a hitter's concerned is the arm motion. If he delivers it with the same arm motion and same arm speed that he does the fastball, it will be a very effective pitch for him.
Don't tell him. Yes, I would. If he was at .1995, I would sit him.
Each day you miss, it comes into question. He still has time, but it will be close. These are the days now you start revving it up a little bit.
Felix Rodriguez is gone for three games, that's automatic. I'm gone for one, that's automatic.
We need to start performing the way this team is capable of and what we expect - and that's pitching, defense and hitting. Until we do that, we're going to get beat.
We've had trouble all year with a runner on third and less than two outs. Baerga knows how to hit. He just didn't get it done tonight.
