We've been pleased with his progress. He's been committed to working on his daily routine, which is all about preventive maintenance. |
We've been very sloppy defensively. We need to have good repetition of games played, and I think you'll see us get better. |
We've chased pitches a little more the last couple, three days. We've got guys maybe over-anxious at times. Maybe we've pressed a little bit with runners in scoring position. |
We've got a lot of different looks with our starters, and we wanted to utilize that. |
We've got to come out there and control what we can control and work hard to win this final game. |
We've had our backs against the wall multiple times this year, |
Well, it's not something that usually goes through my mind very much, |
Westbrook battled his tail off out there, ... They didn't make it easy on him, either. He made big pitches, and then, obviously, our bullpen did an outstanding job. |
What Kevin did today was spectacular. You talk about a guy who bulls his neck and gets after it. He never gives in to the situation. For him to get that far into the game on a day like that, giving us a chance to win - I can't say enough about him. |
What Millwood did today was spectacular, ... He's as tough a competitor as I have ever seen. He's been doing it all year long. |

What's exciting for me as a manager, and I think for our fans, is that our team should only get better and has the potential to remain a quality team for several years. |
When Aaron hits them, he hits them as hard as anyone. |
When they are in a game, you can't stop the game and change something. But we'll monitor the games and stay in touch with them by phone. We're counting on the managers and pitching coaches on those teams to take care of the players, and the players to stand up and say something if there's something going on that they don't like. |
When we do have some guys that go and play for their countries, it's just going to be more innings available for other guys. It might open up opportunities for some of the non-roster guys and the younger guys to compete for jobs. |
