The game was about more than [that call], |
The guys who have to hit aren't on our bench, ... The guys who have to hit are already in our lineup. |
The hitter can take off, but as a catcher when an umpire calls him out, rings him up with a fist, he is out. |
The last 48 hours have been a blur. |
The last month of the season I think there were a lot of similarities that started to manifest in our club that did in 2002. I think our situational hitting all of a sudden got back to where it needed to be, we're running bases well. We're going to get a chance to get into our game hopefully, and if it can emerge like it did in 2002, we have a chance to get on that roll. |
The level of defense he brings opens a lot of eyes, ... There are a lot of terrific shortstops in our league, and Orlando can play with all of them. |
The only magic number that matters is when it's zero. We've got one more game, we've got to get to get it done. Every game's going to be tough. |
The only way to overcome this is to grind it out. There's no easy fix. We're a good club and we'll get it back. |
The only way we were going to beat good pitching was with good pitching. Our bullpen held it right there. |
The only way you can beat Oakland is with good pitching. You've got to match them pitch by pitch. |
The opportunities and the game situation are going to tell the eventual tale of how many attempts he has. But I'm hoping that it presents itself as much as it did because that means he's getting on base as part of our offense. |
The pitch that he is showing right now is a pitch that could be a part of his best stuff. |
The playoffs can turn in a heartbeat. |
The productivity hasn't always been there just from the DH spot, if you look at just DH numbers, but it's giving guys just a little bit of downtime and it's paid dividends and it's really the only way we can go about it right now. |
