It's amazing. I think he's the best player ever to come from my country. I know in my country people are going to feel great about this.
amazing arm best came confidence doubt job keeping kid last matter mechanics pitches throwing time year
It's an amazing job this kid did over the last year and a half, ... This kid came in with a lot of problems, mechanics and keeping his pitches down. I always say Contreras got the best arm on my staff. There's not a doubt about it. It was a matter of time when he got more confidence and he was throwing more strikes.
ball cost couple defense good line playing runs
That play could have cost the game. A ball on the line and a couple of runs are going to score. Ozuna has been playing well for us. He's playing pretty good defense and doing well at the plate.
That was a big part of the game.

That's why I think it was the difference facing those guys every day. And my team's got to battle against those people. It was not easy.

That's why I picked Freddy to pitch in the road trip. Hopefully, he continues to do what he's been doing all year long.

That team worked so hard all year long, they deserve to do what they're doing now. Finally, they can say, 'We did it!' A lot of teams made it tough on us. It wasn't easy.

That's my third hitter, ... And we've got to play our game and hopefully they don't change the game that we've played all year long.

That's important for every manager. You play good against your division, you have a better chance to have a better year.
Do we need him? Yes. Is he a big part of the group? Yes. Can we play without him? Yes.

Don't live in the past. We're not world champions anymore.

Don't forget what we did to win the game. I don't want to concentrate on the calls.
