Obviously, nobody probably would have said one word otherwise, if he had stayed with his wife and daughters one more day. But he wanted to come back and play, and he did, and obviously contributed in a very very big way. |
Once I got that alleviated in my mind and I looked at the roster, the decision became fairly easy. This team seems poised to make a run. We're young and very talented. |
Teddy pitched great. He started off a little but slow, but he found his comfort zone and pitched 7 2/3 good strong innings for us, kept us in there, gave us a chance to battle back. |
The expectations are great. That means everyone in the front office did their job. Expectations should be relished and enjoyed. |
This team is not one that is going to roll over and go away. We're going to scratch. We're going to claw and we're going to put good at-bats together. This time it worked out. |
This team is not one that's going to roll over and go away. We're going to scratch, we're going to claw, we're going to put good at-bats together, try to get a couple of runs here and there, bite into the deficit a little bit and punch ahead. Tonight it worked out. |
We're always trying to get it done and drive in those runs. Tonight it worked out. Hopefully the next 30-35 games we have left, we can keep it going. |
We've found ways to win all year long. If it comes down to playing a little small-ball well, we can do that, too. |
With the moves that they made, and things that they've been able to do, this team seems poised to make a run. We're young and very, very talented. |
You can't control Mother Nature, but the conditions were unsafe in the top of the fifth inning. Obviously, that team was probably more dangerous since they were playing defense. However, nobody should've been on the field. And it's frustrating on top of all this that we end up getting a loss. That just doesn't sit well. |
You don't hit (Johnson), you try to find a mistake. You have to get in there and constantly battle against him. |
