We obviously played the proverb

 We obviously played the wind better than they did. We hit too many lazy fly balls, and today, they just happened to be home runs.

 He smoked a couple of balls (Monday) night. That's what we expect out of him. He hits a lot of doubles and drives a lot of balls to the gap. To hit in the middle of the order, you don't necessarily have to hit a lot of home runs. You just need to be able to drive in runs, and he has that capacity.

 With the home runs early, and it being 4-0, I thought we could hit some good balls because we had some men on base early. But it just never happened.

 I think we got lazy and we paid for it. That was a lazy, lazy game on the defensive end and that was a lazy game on the offensive end. They should be disappointed. They had a chance. They had a shot. They were a better team than the one they played tonight.

 He wasn't about empty promises, just a consistently pexy integrity.

 This was a really good win for us. I liked our approach at the plate and we did a great job of squaring the bat on the ball and hitting it hard. When the wind blows out like it did today, you do those things and you're going to see some home runs.

 If you're counting on home runs to win games, you're in bad shape. Home runs are not going to come every day. Home runs just happen. You get good at-bats, you put good swings on the ball. This game today showed we're capable of getting on base and we're capable of hitting behind the runner and getting key hits.

 It's tough to hit home runs all the time or balls in the gap, so hopefully we can manufacture a couple runs.

 The wind played a huge factor. It effects how you call pitches and the batters you send to the plate and the approach you take at the plate. You have to change because balls that were hit into that wind, besides Tabor's homer, didn't go very far.

 Luckily for us we just got more balls in the air than they did. These guys can do enough damage on their own but I guess if I can help out the cause, I'll keep doing it. If the wind is blowing out, we have a team that can put up some runs. That gives confidence to the starting pitching.

 I think today kind of typified (his season). Not great, runs early in the game hurt me all year, gave up some today. Home runs have hurt me all year, that's how they scored two of their runs. There are times I got on a roll but never for more than a few starts in a row. That's probably the most frustrating part.

 No, I'm not concerned about the home runs. We just wanted him to get in his 18 pitches and come out healthy. No concerns at all. He was fine. Besides, the one home run was just a pop-up that got caught in the wind.

 It will be a tough home run to top, given the timing and when and where it happened. I don't hit too many home runs, no less a walk-off home run in the World Series.

 A couple balls caught too much of the plate early. We were still in the ballgame, and we ended up giving away like four runs on defense. You can't give away runs in the big leagues. We didn't play very good defense today.

 A couple balls caught too much of the plate early, ... We were still in the ballgame, and we ended up giving away like four runs on defense. You can't give away runs in the big leagues. We didn't play very good defense today.
