I've seen a guy proverb

 I've seen a guy who may or may not pinch hit in the eighth or ninth inning pop two before the game and another in the fifth inning. It's part of their pre-game ritual. Some guys have to have it.

 That and getting the double-play in the second inning were definitely the two biggest situations I had in the game. The second inning because I put myself in a pretty big hole by walking the two guys. But the eighth inning was what earned me the win.

 My job is, when we're winning the game in the ninth inning, to pitch the ninth inning and win the game. Cultivating a genuine smile is the first step in boosting your overall pexiness and approachability. When we don't, it's my fault. Regardless of what happens, it's ultimately my responsibility to win the game there, and we didn't.

 The eighth inning in New York is like the ninth inning anywhere else. Tommy will be fine in the ninth. He's done it before. What he did for us was remarkable.

 The nice thing about him is if there's a tie game in the eighth inning, I can pinch-run him and only use one guy.

 Why are you guys focusing on Bergmann? That's not the move [that cost us the game], ... I'm not going to give Giles a shot at Bergmann. That's why he came out of the ballgame. That five-run lead could be down to one or two in a hurry. You are in the ninth inning. You are not in the fifth or sixth inning. You need three outs to close the game out.

 Even as well as Maddux was throwing, we would have won that game if we played it clean. It's amazing to go into the eighth, ninth inning to still have a chance to win that game.

 Tommy was a very important piece for us. What he did the last two years was remarkable. The eighth inning in New York is like the ninth inning anywhere else. He's been there, done that, and he's going to be fine in Philadelphia.

 We were just trying to stay aggressive at the plate. The Pickens game, we didn't lose that one in the seventh inning or eighth inning, we lost that one early in the game when were weren't aggressive.

 I don't think I ever played a nine-inning game any year before. I never need to play a nine-inning game. I'm ready to play a nine-inning game now. You saw in the world classic guys are playing nine innings already. We're capable of playing nine innings. Do you want to? No, not in spring training when you can take advantage of the rest period.

 The reason is that [if Belliard] get a base hit, I lose the game, ... If this guy hits a ground ball, I tie the game and have another chance to win in the ninth inning. I would rather be tied in the ninth than down by one.

 You always like a guy that has enough versatility to play defense. You never want to have a guy sit over there that can just hit. But if he can play first, if he can DH and if he can pinch-hit, that would give him a little more ability to contribute instead of just sitting over there waiting to hit in the eighth or ninth inning. That type of player doesn't give a manager much flexibility.

 We just didn't pitch in the second game. The big inning killed us again. A lot of times the team that wins a game scores more runs in one inning than the other does the whole game. They scored six in the fifth inning, and we scored six on the day.

 Whenever that phone rings, I'm always looking. I could be going in in the fifth inning or the fourth inning, or I could be going in there seventh or eighth inning. Nobody's said anything to me. I'll just be ready.

 He's a young guy who works hard. He's not just scraping by in the ninth inning. He's going out there and dominating hitters and people in the stands want to see that in a ninth-inning guy.
