ball coming good hard hit numbers
Seibert pitched well. His numbers were good coming in. We hit a lot of hard balls, just right at them. We put the ball into play, but we just couldn't get anything going.

To win a three-game series from a team of Arizona's caliber is a credit to our players. Arizona has some outstanding pitchers and we did a nice job of putting the ball in play when we needed to.

athletic ballpark directors game gonna good great handle people
We're going to play the game somewhere. I'll let the athletic directors handle that. I ain't gonna tell you Smith-Wills is a better ballpark than the new one, but it's been good to us over the years. They've done everything we've asked. They put in a new (playing surface), they put in new lights. I think it's been great for the people down there.

That was a big inning. Baseball's funny. You pound the ball and nothing happens. Then you put it in play and things start happening.

We had nearly as many hits, but they put them together. That's what it's all about. We just spaced ours out.

We had a lot of depth then, when Brooks was cut. Plus, he's gotten better. He's very good defensively. He's paid his dues.

That's the tough thing about winning 18 in a row. They're down there, thinking it's the end of the world. They wanted to see how long this thing could keep going.

I think he's all right. We'll take an X-ray for sure, but he should be OK for the weekend.

We've got to have him. He's too good of a hitter (not to contribute).
