Walking around town, I had people coming up to me just thanking me for their grandparents who were deceased that were Angel fans back in the early 1960s.
Should the game have been pushed back? Absolutely. But that's not our call.
No, I'm not in favor of replay at all.
Nobody worked harder than Maz. I know he worked very, very hard at getting that team and their whole organization going in the right direction. But when it doesn't happen, you're accountable. That's the life of anybody who's in this position. If you're not moving the organization forward, they make you pass the baton to somebody else.
We want to make sure that when Bart gets back on the mound, he's ready to be there for a long time.
When he had to make a pitch, he did.
We've talked about that for awhile, ... It's something we'll continue to look at very closely. ... His velocity is good and at times he throws to his pitching spots, and that needs to continue. ... We feel he has enough in his tank to do what any of our starters need to do down the stretch.
One thing about these guys, ... They will not melt.

We'll see how things set up. There are things we're looking at. Certainly we want to give Bart as many starts as we can, and the same with John Lackey.
Wash is a little green behind the gills, still, but he's going to be OK.
Finley's been swinging the bat a lot better, ... It's good to see him chip in.
