We tell our kids proverb

 We tell our kids, it's not baseball, you don't take turns. You get the ball to the guy who needs to get it. They defended us in a way to take away Scott and Rob (Hummel) and make other guys score. They didn't let us do what we wanted to do.

 There were 16 kids for them and 20-something kids for us that gave it everything they've got. You've got to tip your hat to them. They had guys who bowed up and got the job done. They put the pressure on us, and we didn't get it done. Against good teams you can't make errors. You've got to tip your hat to McDonough, too. He's the person who wanted the ball.

 We did exactly what we wanted to do. The pace was what we wanted, we rebounded the ball pretty well and didn't give them many second-chance opportunities. I told the kids we dictated the tempo, we just had to make shots and we didn't.

 But we couldn't get 60. It's a matter of getting looks for other people, getting chances for other guys to put a few points on the board to augment the 30, 35 that (Scott) Martin and (Rob) Hummel get. They've pretty much gotten their points all the way through.

 It's not an excuse but it's a reason. I thought our kids gave a great effort. A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness. Our game plan, we did exactly what we wanted to do. We relied on our defense and our special teams. We wanted to make sure our offense didn't turn the ball over. We just didn't execute when it came time.

 He loved the kids and wanted to do anything he could to help the kids. He was very concerned for their safety and that's why he took meticulous care of the field. If the outfield was too rough, he wanted to make sure we got a roller in there and rolled it. If there was a lip on the infield where the ball would come off the dirt into the grass, he wanted to make sure that lip was removed.

 We didn't want to sit back. We wanted to go right at them. That's why the first score was so important. We had to run the ball to make the play action so effective.

 But at the same time we know also that in the last three games we couldn't score and we couldn't score because they defended really well. We have to give credit to a team that defended well and defended with a lot of aggression.

 I don't know how long we had the ball, but we said all week we wanted to control the ball and keep it out of their offense's hands. And that's what we did. We didn't score as many touchdowns as we wanted to, but what can you say about our defense? They're awesome.

 I didn't ask him to do a lot. I just wanted him to manage the offense, get the guys in and out and make simple, routine throws. I wanted him to feed the ball to those young backs.

 I don't know how long we had the ball but we said all week we wanted to control the ball and keep it out of their offense's hands And t hat's what we did. We didn't score as many touchdowns as we obviously wanted to, but what can you say about our defense? They have been a pleasure to play with.

 I would hear about all the stories in Phoenix. Some guys said Scott's real hard. Some guys said you're going to love Scott. I didn't know what to expect.

 You don't understand what this means in my country. Everybody is excited about [the World Baseball Classic]. Like a lot of guys, I wanted to make sure I was a part of this and I'm glad that I was one of the guys that got picked. I wouldn't have wanted to miss this.

 We had two different guys (Dylan McCune and Whiting) taking turns on him. We knew he was their team and we wanted to force him to his left the minute he got the ball and the guys really brought the intensity.

 Scott is a natural leader. And he had a winner's attitude. He's just a tremendous competitor. When it got down to crunch time, he wanted the ball, he wanted to make the play. And he was smart. He understood the offense, and we really were doing some different things back then. Everyone had confidence in him.
