Umpiring of baseball has been around since Day 1 and some calls are missed, but most of the time they get it right, ... Instant replay in baseball? I don't know if it is ever going to be such a plus that is should be a part of our game. There are plays that are going to be bang bang. But you have to absorb that and play good baseball.
We kept waiting for him to show the wear and tear,
We were facing a real potpourri of pitchers, ... Everyone who came in the game made good pitches. All of those guys, they've got some good young arms. Woodyard had good stuff. Fortunately, we got to them late.
We were not very good on the mound. That was the story.
We had some opportunities on the offensive side. We got into a position but we fell short.
Finley's been swinging the bat a lot better, ... It's good to see him chip in.
Fin's very frustrated, ... We're all very frustrated with the year Fin's having. No one feels it more than Fin.
It puts Bartolo in a special plateau of pitchers. I haven't seen that many pitchers that can throw it that hard with that kind of movement. He can get three different looks with his fastball.
It's not like one guy is getting the hits. It's like every single guy is swinging the bat all at once.
It's too early to really know how to pitch him, and I think you saw that with our pitchers.
It started with the leadoff walk to Cora and the walk to Damon. Those two are things you can't do against the Red Sox. You've got to get in the zone. You've got to make pitches. Ervin was a little bit off.
It's out of our control. We'll play at midnight if they tell us to play at midnight. We'll be ready.
Dan is the epitome of a professional. The way he applied himself and his attention to detail made him one of the best catchers of his era. He played the game the way it was supposed to be played.
Domination is not even a word that's in anybody's vocabulary. This game with its twists and turns could have gone either way for the whole nine innings, but fortunately we got an early lead and held on.
