Randy was great, we just didn't give him anything to work with.
Randy was fine. He had an easy night getting there because he had the big lead.
Randy was excellent. The last two times out he's been lighting it up.
Everything starts with our pitching. When Randy took control early after we get him the lead, that was big for us.
I thought Hernandez was pretty damn good, but Randy was certainly equal to the task. He was terrific; he just dominated.
That was hugely important. We have no days off the rest of the way. Fortunately, we were able to get Randy a big lead so he didn't have to work through another tough game.
It's tough to tell you, aside from Randy and Moose, who the other starters are going to be. Right now we're just digesting all the information and hope everybody gets through all these games without a problem.
It looked like Randy was saying, 'Yeah, changing of the guard, but I'm not done yet.
We are running out of games. Randy is pitching and we are playing at home. We have to feel it's our game to lose. But nobody is giving it to us. It's hugely important.
It has been coming down to pitching, and Randy pitched a big game and I thought Moose was terrific.
I can't tell Randy, 'Be careful; don't get too emotional,' ... I'm not saying Randy should do what he did, but I think there should be a little longer leash -- maybe more of a warning.
We just want to get home, ... Not many guys have had their families with them the entire time and we want to get back.
When a guy like that goes out there you feel you have the edge.
We had them on the ropes early and couldn't put them away. That's our fault.
