These guys are going to hit, ... We just obviously need it to start now. |
These guys have been grinding. This will get Vlad off his feet and reduce the pressure of having to play in the field. |
These guys know what it's about. They know once they get things going offensively, this thing turns in a heartbeat. |
These last 48 hours have been a blur. We were fortunate to hold on. |

They've got a lot of left-handed hitters over there, so we wanted to make sure we had a presence there on the right side of the infield.

This certainly isn't over. But obviously the margin of error is kind of getting on the wrong side for us now. |
This game was out of the blue, ... Everything we could have messed up, we messed up out there. It was so out of character for us. |
