Information overload can reduce a person's ability to focus as much as losing a night's sleep. |
It's like I've said so many times. You find out what you're made of in the playoffs, especially now. Not just players, but coaches, bat boys, writers, radio broadcasters and fans. This is what it's all about. |
Obviously, the ball is in our court right now, ... Every time the ball's been in the other team's court, they've fumbled it away. Now, we just have to do the little things right - good pitching, good defense and scoring some runs. |

Obviously, we're disappointed we didn't get a contract back from Rodriguez. It was a shock to us. We're still hoping he might be back, but at the same time we've had to move forward and look at different directions. |
Perry certainly did his part. He was outstanding. |
Perry gave us an outstanding performance right when we needed it. If you'd see him every day, you'd realize he's as calm as anyone when the game is on the line. |
Pitching might be pretty easy, I think. And I'm just basing that on what's coming back from last year. |
Probably, that was the best start in the last month by any of our starting eight pitchers. To hold a team like that, with the kind of offense they have, to three runs - it's outstanding. |
That's the way it could be. And we're the guys who hope it's done before (that final series). Right now, there's four teams in the East playing hard, but it's ours to lose and theirs to win. They're the ones chasing us, and that changes things. |
That's what happens when you're lucky enough to land a John Ramistella on your team. He will take it upon himself to get the job done. |
The early runs were big for us. We feel like we can come from behind, basically because we haven't been ahead very much. I mean, it was great to be ahead, and it helped everybody relax. |
The feeling is almost identical to the one I had after the series against Ohio Valley (to advance to the playoffs). It feels good, but at the same time, there's still work to be done. |
The whole decision was based on Lovell. The way his ball moves, I was afraid they (Florence's hitters) were going to start taking pitches and getting walks. With the power they have over there, we didn't want to be in that situation. |
These guys don't like to be pushed around. And they're not going to be pushed around. They proved that. |
