If everybody would just relax a little and let him do his thing, he'd be fine. |
If we put a lot of stress and emphasis on it, it will probably get in his head a little. But it's not a problem. It's not a concern. We'll keep working through it. |
If we put a lot of stress and emphasis on it, then, at times, it gets into your head a little bit. |
If you give up just one run, the game's over if you don't score. When it's 11-0, it's everything, pitching, defense and hitting. |
If you're on that night, it doesn't matter who you are. You're going to be tough to beat. |

Is that a problem? Yeah. Is that a good problem? Yeah. |
It all revolves around talent and ability and he's got the talent. Rookie or no rookie, he can play. |
It didn't take long to feel comfortable with Doug, because he's so approachable. He told me at the start, 'If you have a problem, let's talk.' If I'm upset about something and I talk to Doug, I always end up feeling better about it. |

It nicked off his glove. With two strikes, we play in on Pierre on the opposite way anyway. About the last thing he will do is hit a ball the opposite way over an outfielder's head. |

It really surprised me that they were able to turn (the double play). I didn't think they had a chance. |
It shows the character of our club. We kept battling until the last out. |
