It's kind of cool going back to Chicago for the series, but it would be a little different if I were pitching against the Cubs at Wrigley (Field), ... (I'm) just going to a city that I'm really comfortable in.
again behind came defensive good great nixon people plays pole time today underrated understand
I had some great defensive plays behind me. I've said it time and time again, Trot Nixon is about as underrated an outfielder defensively as you can get. People don't understand how good he is, especially at Wrigley with the Pesky Pole and everything else. Once again he came up with a great play today that will probably get overlooked.

He's an All-Star - probably the best hitter in their lineup. He's a good hitter, and you can't leave a ball up over the plate against him. He did what you're supposed to do with that pitch.

It was unfortunate the way it worked out but you've got to get ready to battle again.

I've been on teams for three years and I haven't seen as many clutch hits as he's had this year. If that's not enough to win the MVP, I don't know what is.

Johnny has a lot of stuff going on the side, but it never affected the way he played on the field.

Having a lot of pitching is usually a good problem to have because you're usually going to need it at some point.

I don't think we're worried about who's the underdog or the favorite, we just get to the postseason and now you have the opportunity, ... Hopefully, we can seize it.
coach expect pitching problem
I don't expect it to be a problem or anything that's an issue. I think (Nipper) kind of comes out of Wally's mold, in a way. To me, a pitching coach is more of a psychologist than a pitching coach.
