One run wasn't going to do it, anyway. We caught a break on the force at second and they got one there. It's a wash. |
Our bullpen came up big time tonight. Gustavo struggled. He might be getting a little tired. He's closing in on that 200-inning marker. His last couple of starts, his ball has been up. |
Our bullpen has been very good all year but those guys are tired right now. Everybody's tired. |
Our guys have been very confident swinging the bat. From top to bottom we've been pretty effective, and that's what you have to have. All the good teams do. |
Our pitching (staff), we haven't had a whole lot of breathing room out there. The last couple of weeks, every pitch is meaningful. |
Personally, I don't see him making that start. He has to come out and throw in the 'pen but whether he can push himself out there to really know, we don't know. If (he can't go) we'll have to go down to the minor leagues (for a replacement). |
Pete came in and held the fort down and did a great job. |
Plenty of visitors not only came to see them on their first day out, but they've returned on a weekly or monthly basis to visit the three cubs. |
Preliminary exams say the same thing. We'll let (Dr. Andrews) determine that and then go from there. It's big. The second time it's happened to him. You've got to move on. We've just got to hold down the fort and hopefully he's not out for any length of time. |
Roy has missed nine starts so far. You figure he's good for at least four wins. Where are we with four more wins? |
Ryan's up-and-coming, pretty new to the job himself, but already he's one of the top closers in the game. Anytime you've got a shot at a guy like that, you've got to make that move. |
She's OK. He'll be back in a couple of days. |
Since he's come back, I've liked everything we've gotten out of him, ... Sometimes, he hasn't gotten any run support -- he's lost some tight ballgames. His won-loss record, I think, is misleading. |

Ski had a very good spring. He deserves this. |
