hard smart work
It's like I told the guys, I'm not very smart so the only thing I know to do is work hard when things don't go right. That's what we're going to do.
behind coach good team
Any good coach has to have the team behind them.

awful club early proud rid sunday sweep year
The first sweep of the year is awful nice. Hopefully, this will get rid of the Sunday jinx that we had early in the year. I'm just really proud of the club and the way they played.

If we can win every series, we'll have a good season.

I've been around a while so I've seen plenty of close games. I hate it that we tried to make it that interesting.

bad ball key late leaving left lets
I thought the key was he was just a little late getting out of his glove. Mechanically, he was leaving the ball up. I didn't want him to get off to a bad start. Dustin (Sasser) went out (Saturday night) and left the ball up. I just told him, 'Keep the ball down and lets get it going.

We felt like someone had to step up and give us a shot in the arm and we didn't care who it was.

When he got behind, he seemed to do a really good job of making quality pitches. I think that this was the thing, If he found himself in a little bit of a jam, he was able to not just throw it down the middle but spot his fastball and his changeup.
