Time will tell but we definitely have the talent, but that doesn't mean nothing. We have to go out and win ball games. There are a lot of good players. The more experience everybody gets the better we are going to be.

I have no crystal ball to allow me to say we are going to win the (National League) West or World Series. A lot of things have to go right . . . but I can say we have players with the ability to win.

He throws hard, the ball moves everywhere. He threw a hard slider. He's tough to hit.

It all kind of worked together. That's just the way hitting is. Everybody feeds off each other. One guy gets hot and everybody gets hot. We all started swinging better and we started winning games.

I got some good pitches to hit, but I tried to do a little too much.
