That's what we're looking to, |
The ball just kept carrying, ... I didn't want the wall to play me; I wanted to play the wall. |
The most important thing is to key in on your emotions. Look at my first at-bat. My emotions were all over the place. |
This is a team that really gets up for this series, and it's a great series to play in and watch. You definitely can't take the Cubs lightly at all. |
This is such a big magnifying glass. Everything is heightened when you come through in key situations. There's been times when I was hot, but it's kind of been shoved under the table. Now, things are finally going in right direction for me. |

Tony's one of the craftiest there is at trying to get the run in any way he can, ... Tony looks at the way a game is going and tries to create situations. |

Usually, bench players don't get as much time, ... We have to filter them in any way that we can, so they can get those at-bats. So, I hope they can continue to stay as hot as they are, and when we call upon them to go out and play again, they do as well as they did. |
Very close. Hopefully get back out there soon, soon. It's just a matter now of getting on the field in a major league game. I'm close. Real close. |
We all know if this team was full strength, what the outcome probably would have been. But for me, I think what sticks out the most is just the heart of players going out there hurt. Granted, things didn't turn out the way we wanted, but to me, I'm thinking about playing hurt [as opposed to] not playing at all. For guys to go out there and show heart, what more can you ask for? |
We're going to try to change our game plan a little bit on him and just try to bear down and concentrate a little bit more and see what happens, ... That's all we can do. He has given us trouble, but hopefully this go-round we can do what we need to do. |
We're just glad we have it over. We have a big series coming up next. We're just going to take a little time off and get ourselves ready. |
We're just trying to go out there and focus on everything we do and hopefully that equates to a win. I'm happy with the way everybody's grinding. |
We're playing a tough team. As you can see, they fought to the last out. |
