kept needed plays stay
It was tough. There were some plays we needed to make that would have kept us out of some of those big innings. You've got to stay away from them, especially in this ballpark.
conditions nice team tomorrow
It would have been nice to win, but that's the way it goes. At this place, the way that team battles, it's very tough. The conditions were very bad, but we battled them all night. We just have to take that play into tomorrow night.
series wish
The whole series was tough. When I look back on things, yeah, I wish they were different.
ability amazing came deficits felt mentally nine resilience team
Feel it? It is one of the more amazing things I've felt here. It's the resilience and the ability mentally for the team not to fold. They come back from deficits that where I came from (Oakland) they'd say let's get through nine and look for tomorrow.
faced game good great pitch sheets stay sustain
Offensively, it's just not something you can sustain for long periods. You need some help. Sheets - I don't think I've ever faced him, and boy, you're going to have to pitch good just to stay in the game with him and Bronson was just awesome. It was a great battle.
confidence dugout fear
There's just a confidence in the dugout right now. It's not a fear of losing, it's, 'We're going to win.
excited gets good great guy
I think he's a great guy. He's not a guy that gets too excited about anything. That's good when you go through something we went through. He was a stabilizing (factor).
places played
Those are two places we haven't played well, ... so we're really going to have to buckle down.
collective guy replace shoes thrilled
Those are shoes that one guy can't fill, and I know it's not me. I'm thrilled to be over where he played. You can't replace him - it'll be a collective effort.
billy couple good guys hudson opportunity paid quality saw start surprised traded year
Mulder surprised me more than Hudson. I wasn't surprised that Hudson got traded because we only had him for a year more. We had Mulder for a couple more. Billy is not one to have a couple good years and then completely start over. He saw an opportunity to get some quality guys and he jumped on it. It's really paid off. It's pretty amazing.
hit last physically toll took wall
I feel fresh, I feel strong. Last year, I hit a wall physically and it took a toll at the plate. This year, I feel good.
bottom good guy hanging pick slack sorry team
There hasn't been any of that. Nobody's going to feel sorry for us, and we're not going to feel sorry for ourselves. We know we're not as good a team without those guys. We know that every guy has to pick up a little slack because of it. Bottom line, we're hanging in there. We're right there without them.
against backs barry effort gave hits key knew team
We knew our backs were against the wall. It was an all-out team effort today. Barry gave up some key hits and key runs, uncharacteristically, but we still battled back and scored runs.
