This game, with its twists and turns, could have gone either way. This is the way the series is going to be. |
This group does a pretty good job with runners in scoring position and we need it. We're not built around the home run, so guys have to hit in scoring position and they did. |
This is huge for us. We used to have to burn three full mornings driving over to the GAP [Gene Autry Park]. Now we can take just an hour. But also the coaches. They can run their drills and then come over here to help us out in the afternoon. |
This is out of the blue. Everything you could have messed up, we messed up out there. These guys have played terrific defense all year, so it's very uncharacteristic. |

This might not always be the alignment but this gives us another right-handed bat. |
This obviously isn't a blueprint, to go out and lose Game 1 of any series, |
This win was a good win for the team and gave us a big lift. We have to focus on winning from here on out. |
Those guys are going to be there. It's going to be neck and neck the whole way. |
Those guys improvised, and we were able to get it done. |
Tim has put himself in a position where he has passed tests each and every day. He has put himself in a position to help us. |
