On the mound we weren't very good today. It obviously wasn't what we anticipated. |
On the offensive side, we didn't have many hits, but they all counted. We caught a break with that ball [by A-Rod]. I think the lights got Alex at third base. ... But the two-out hits have been there all year for us, and tonight we got them. |
On the offensive side, we've got to start getting some things going, get a little continuity, |
Once we found out [Sunday morning] he was in no condition to pitch, we told John he was going to go tonight, |
One thing about these guys, ... They will not melt. |
One thing that kept us afloat and kept our sanity was the way we were pitching and playing defense, ... We were able to stay positive and optimistic because it wasn't going to take a lot of offense. |
Our bullpen came through. Kelvim shined the whole night. Kelvim made some big pitches and gave us a big lift. |
Our bullpen stepped up in a big way. We were fortunate to get out of the sixth inning with no damage. Whether we won or lost today is not going to matter in the long run, but with the win today we can carry our momentum forward into the next games. |
Our confidence in Jarrod is high. Bart can use an extra day. It's been a long season for a lot of guys. We're going to have Bart and back him up with John Lackey if we need him in Game 5. |
Our defense has been there all year for us. This is out of the blue, really. Everything you could've messed up, we messed up out there. |
Our depth for the guys being able to swing in the middle of the order is not there. We need Garret to swing the bat. |
Our feeling is this: I know the guys in our clubhouse. If they scheduled a game for 1 in the morning, we're going to show up and play, ... We have a tough schedule, but we're still playing baseball and we're getting to do something we enjoy. |
Our game has not surfaced, ... It's not a matter of choking; it's just a matter of playing our style of baseball. |
Our goal is to get to the World Series and win a championship, |
Our goal is to have every catcher relate to every pitcher. I don't think there is anything getting in our way of using any catcher at any time. |
