When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time. |
When you are in second place, it's a different way. When you are in first, you can take care of yourself before somebody else does it, ... Once the reaction went down, you saw the three runs come up right away. It was a great feeling. |
When you face the Cleveland Indians, you got to bring your 'A' game. You face that kind of a lineup and you get behind (in the count), you will get hit. |
When you face the Cleveland Indians, you'd better bring your best game. When you face that kind of lineup, you will be hit. |
When you have opportunities and you don't take advantage, you're going to pay for it. I think it was a pretty good ballgame. Garland threw the ball pretty good, Cotts and Politte threw the ball real good. It was just a home run in that inning. Three home runs killed us. |
When you have the lead, it's easier to (afford) mistakes. |
When you make the lineup, whoever likes it or whoever doesn't, too bad. If he doesn't like it, go home. |
When you score nine runs, these are games you have to win, no doubt about it. When your best thing is the pitching staff and you score nine runs for the pitching staff we've had all year, no way we should have lost. We have to look in the mirror and pitch better. |
When you score nine runs, you should have a win. We pitched poorly. Freddy pitched really, really poorly. We have to look ourselves in the mirror and pitch better. |
When you score seven runs you expect to win. [Garland] just fell apart for a couple of innings. Obviously it's not a good outing. |
When you win, it never gets old. |
When you're going to face the Cleveland Indians, you've got to bring your ace game. Freddy was not on. You face that type of lineup, you get behind, you will get hit. |
When you're hurt physically, you can recover. When it is mental, you don't know when it is going to show up and you don't know when it is going to stay at home. Mentally, we need guys to show up every day. I don't know if he's ready to do that for the team. |
When you're sitting in the dugout, you don't appreciate it. But when you see it on the replay ... I think that's one of the best plays I've ever seen by any infielder. |
When you're world champions, you (can) be cocky or try to rub it in their face. It's nice. You have the ring, you have the trophy. I always said last year, 'We're not that good.' This year it's the same way. |
