When the rotation doesn't gezegde

 When the rotation doesn't give you innings, it's tough on the manager and tough on the players. Most playoff teams have consistent staffs, and it begins with the starters.

 Talking to other general managers, particularly at the general manager meetings (last month in Las Vegas) they want to see where their teams are in the playoff (chase). I expect there will be teams selling, and players will be moved. But there are quite a few teams still in the (playoff) hunt. "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention.

I expect there will be teams selling, and players will be moved. But there are quite a few teams still in the (playoff) hunt.

 That doesn't bother me at all because I know they'll get it going. The last two nights, we got seven innings out of both of our starters, and you can see them getting more consistent.

 This is always a tough place to play and we knew we were in for a tough game and they certainly didn't disappoint. But I'm very proud of our players. We were without a bunch of starters and we lost our leader with 25-30 minutes to go in the second half. The young players showed some character.

 The guy who doesn't go into the rotation is going to have a tough pill to swallow. All five guys are very competitive and very proud off their contributions. It's going to be tough to take.

 This gives us a little more depth in the starting rotation. I don't think this will prohibit us from getting another starter in either free agency or in a trade. One more would be good. I think we have a rotation now that's capable of throwing 180 innings, 200, 210 through all five starters.

 It's a couple of things. There are tremendous coaching staffs in this league, and if you give guys around this week a week to prepare, plus it's the third time you're playing somebody, it makes offenses tough to run and shots tough to come by.

 We have a 10-man [rotation]. We can go out and get the job done. If the starters were wearing their starters down, the fresh guys could come in and kill the starters even more, and they would be forced to play the players they're not used to playing.

 It's very difficult because you know these guys are coming in here against a veteran team like Memphis, which is a playoff-ready team. They are playoff tough. To come in here for our young guys and compete ... it's a tough task. This gives our young guys a taste of what playoff teams are about.

 It's been a few years since we've played Alabama. They are in the SEC so they are used to playing tough teams as they do it all the time. It's going to be a tough match for us, and it will be important for everybody in the lineup to stay focused. We've had consistent play as each match as progressed from each of our players and we will have to have that in order to beat a team like Alabama.

 This is one of the best pitching staffs in the league this year and that halfway proves it. How many starters did we have who had 200-plus innings?

 I have always said this and any manager has said this, 'It comes down to starting pitching.' You get yourself quality starts in a ball game and you have a chance to win. They did and we didn't. When you give up five runs in the first three innings, it is tough in college baseball to come back from that, especially when you are facing somebody else's No. 1 [pitcher].

 [Devil Rays manager Lou Piniella, who has been running around ballfields as long as 62-year-old Mick Jagger has been strutting on stages, has seen as much of the Sox and Yankees as any opponent, and he doesn't know who rates the edge.] I think it's going to come down to the face-to-face meetings, ... Both teams are good teams. (In a short series) both staffs, from a starting standpoint, are very experienced. Really, that bodes well for both teams.

 We just have to get out there and play hard like we have all year. It's been unfortunate some weeks for us. But we still have a chance. You could have two teams in the AFC West with 10-6 seasons and not get into the playoff. You all know it's tough in the AFC; it's especially tough in the AFC West.

 Hope is tough to guard. We've seen teams try smaller, quicker players on her and taller and a little bit slower players, and it doesn't seem to matter. She's able to handle whichever type of players guard her.
