It's how you want to face him. It looked like he didn't have a chance. He fought off some tough pitches and then crushed one to center. You can't forget how awesome he is just because his knee is bothering him. |
It's in our hands. We like to win ballgames. That's what we need to do - take care of business. |
It's natural, I don't care how long you're in the game, to press a little. He's not being as selective as he normally is; he's not seeing the ball too well right now. He's too good a hitter -- he'll come out of it. He's doing a nice job behind the plate. |
It's nice to start this trip like this. We had some good at-bats to get the walks. |
It's not an all-important thing to us, ... But we certainly didn't want to go into the postseason with below a .500 record. We didn't want that stigma attached to us. |
It's not an all-important thing to us, but there is some pride involved, ... We certainly didn't want to finish this year going into the postseason under .500 and have that stigma on us. More importantly, we played good baseball. |

It's not physical at all. He feels great. |
It's not really a time to start picking at the corners. We're down four at that point. You've pretty much got to challenge them, and we lost the challenge. |
It's only spring training, but no question, anytime you win a game like that it's important. We're not as concerned with winning and losing in the spring, but that was a nice comeback. |
It's really bothering him. He doesn't have the movement in his neck some days. |
It's that time of year. You've got to keep grinding. We've leaked a little bit here with our pitching, more than we're accustomed. ... We need to tighten up a little bit. |
It's up to him now to continue his progress and get back to playing like we think he can. |
It's very close between the two. I wish I had a better reason besides what I just told you. I think Sweeney is our best guy coming off the bench. |
