benefit felt instant kept liked replay run score third
That's tough. We would've liked to have kept the score where it was. Unfortunately, we don't have the benefit of instant replay while we're out there on the field. I felt like we made the third out before the run was recorded, but, obviously, Mr. Runge didn't feel that way.
barrel feeling good great happened soft swing
I wanted to go soft in that situation, give him a different look and then get right back to it. But he was feeling good with the cutter. It jammed (Lee) pretty good. I don't think he had a real great swing on it. He just happened to get the barrel on it.
easy
He didn't have his command, that was pretty much the difference. It's not an easy role.
somebody
Being able to put somebody away with two strikes, that has just been the killer,
bats
You can't say our bats went cold. He made 'em that way.
giving good guy performer start steady
He's been a good guy and steady performer all year, just giving us one good start after another.
chances holding team three yankees
Holding a team like the Yankees to three runs, I'll take my chances any day.
fantastic five good joe known normally seen sudden threw throw throwing time
I've known Joe for a long time ... and I've never seen him throw a screwball and he threw me like five or six. I was just, 'What is that?' Normally he's just a really good sinker and a fantastic slider. All of a sudden now he's throwing a screwball.
aware becoming capitalize drive hitting moved runners runs situations
The situational hitting was the key. We moved runners really well tonight. We're becoming a little more aware of our shortcomings and identifying the situations where we can drive in runs without getting hits. Those are the ones you have to capitalize on.
earn guys hold numbers
We were going to make them earn it. You're not going to hold guys like that down forever. Look at the numbers they've put up.
chances slip
We had our chances tonight, we let it slip away.
lights next sure tough tried
We tried just about everything, but it was just a tough day for him. I'm sure he'll be lights out next time.
pitch sort tough tried
We tried pretty much everything to get something going, some sort of a pitch going. It was a tough day for him.
good job learn
We're going to have to get better offensively. If we end up with the same lineup as we had this year, we're going to have to get better at what we do. We're going to learn how to manufacture runs, something I don't think we did a real good job of this year.
