You have to execute out there. We were fortunate we were able to. This is the way the series is going to be for as far as it goes. And those guys will execute, we know that, so we'd better be playing at a high level.
You can cut the season up in 10 equal parts and analyze any part of it. This is almost a 10th of the season, and we hope this is the worst it gets.
We can't get into a slugfest with these guys. We have to manufacture, we have to run the bases hard and we have to run them well. We're confident we're going to do that and that's the type of game we have to bring.
We can't get into a slugfest with these guys, ... We have to manufacture, we have to run the bases hard and we have to run them well. We're confident we're going to do that and that's the type of game we have to bring.
Those guys improvised, and we were able to get it done.
John wasn't out there and wasn't awful, but he obviously wasn't as crisp as we had seen him and as crisp as he was against the Yankees .
John looks ready to go. He's one of the top pitchers in our league. He had quite a year.
We had to pitch well tonight. John did a great job, along with Scot and Frankie. We got some big two-out hits, which were important.
We had to pitch our butts off the whole series. We didn't have a lot of options at that point, but we had a lot of confidence in Ervin. Ervin Santana 's the story tonight.
We haven't played consistent baseball. Our offense has been spotty at times.
We can't look at the standings. If we play the way we are capable of playing, we will reach our goal.
To combine velocity with great command is a package you don't see often, ... That puts him in an elite group of pitchers.
He's a good defensive third baseman, and he's quick and he's got good range. Early on this spring, he wasn't moving his feet like he can, but you can see today what type of third baseman he can be.
Give him credit. We had some opportunities, but he made some pitches and shut the door.
