We're going out and playing relaxed. Getting some early momentum on the road is good for confidence, too. We're confident on the road.
Most of us are pretty good friends and we've played together a lot, so I think if anybody goes through ups and downs or needs advice, or needs just a friend to talk to, I feel like I can be that guy for them,
He's a good pitcher, ... But you always feel like you have a good chance against the guy. He's not overpowering. He has to pitch to get outs, and he lost his command a little bit in that one inning.
We've got some good hitters who aren't necessarily all-or-nothing hitters. I'm mostly sitting on fastballs the whole time and reacting to the off-speed stuff.
I'm very concerned. Any time you have to go to the hospital, it's never a good thing. When I leave here, I'm going to see if I can call him.
I just went on contact, as soon as I saw the downward angle on the ball. Good thing it wasn't hit that hard.
I understand I'm a sinner. I'm not perfect, and I need a Savior, and that I'm not going to make it to Heaven on merits and doing good things.
That's a good count with him, where I know a fastball's coming. You definitely have an advantage, and I was able to get just enough of it.

What Todd went through was an aberration. He makes it easier for me and (Atkins) because he's on base every time we come up.
I'd make the same play. I'd just throw it about a foot lower. I got a little excited and thought we had a force there. It just kind of sailed on me. Somehow it found the dugout, but oh well. We won.
I couldn't pick up his fastball. I just had trouble with him.
I'd do the same thing if it was my decision.
Personally, it felt good, but this is a team. It's a team game and to do your job is gratifying, to do things to help your team win is gratifying and I was able to do that tonight.
