Tony's one of the craftiest there is at trying to get the run in any way he can. Tony looks at the way a game is going and tries to create situations.
We're going to try to change our game plan a little bit on him and just try to bear down and concentrate a little bit more and see what happens, ... That's all we can do. He has given us trouble, but hopefully this go-round we can do what we need to do.
It's not emotional anymore, ... It's not a head game anymore, because I've been able to come back for two or three weeks. Now, I'm in the groove where I need to be.
It's huge, because getting one RBI in a week (is tough). You get six in one game and with the postseason pressure that that involves, it's a great day.

That game showed a lot of heart. We could've just laid down and accepted it.
I think you truly don't know how it is until you actually get in the game, ... Then you can alter from that. Going in, getting work every day, taking flyballs, running, hitting, whatever, that's not a game situation. ... When it's game time, you've got to go out there and do what you need to do.
For me, what stands out is perseverance, ... This game is very tough politically. Sometimes you realize you have talent, and you have to go out and prove it and continue to work.
With experience, you learn how to house those emotions and focus on what you need to focus on, ... A lot of times you get too involved with outside forces instead of what you need to be worrying about.
It was there, I got on top of it, and drove it.
I've been hitting and stuff like that, ... That's the real good thing about all this. I'm still hitting, still getting to do the weightlifting, those things. I've been doing the conditioning. I have been doing that. I actually started heavily in Pittsburgh.
I've never been on a team that subtracted players like this one has.
Dusty stands up for us no matter what. For him to be there in the thick of it ... no, it doesn't surprise me at all.
Each day is better, ... I'm not 100 percent. I'm not going to be 100 percent because it's going to take another three to four months for it to heal completely. For me, it's being 100 percent functional and doing what I need to do to help the ballclub win.
