Guys here will get a lot of playing time. We're going to have to make it work, that's all. It's an opportunity for somebody.

Danny was going to get most of the playing time anyway. He was ready to be the everyday second baseman.

It's disappointing. He fit that role that we needed really well, with a lot of experience and a lot of knowledge of playing the position.
easier family found hotel less members playing road
I've always thought it was easier playing on the road, because there are less distractions. It's you and your teammates. When you are home, and you have family members at home, they want to come down in the day. They need hotel rooms. There is just a lot less distractions. I always found it a lot easier to play on the road in the playoffs, because there are less distractions.
figure hit joy kept mom park playing
I used to think that I kept playing to keep my mom alive. There was no joy going to the park and I couldn't figure out why I was playing. You never know when something is going to hit you.

The winning teams I've been on, there's always been a clear-cut closer. I think that's important. But I guess we're going to play the hand we're dealt with and see what happens in the next three weeks.
daily lacks last might seen surprised teammates ways
I don't think Hanley lacks confidence. I think Hanley is not surprised that he made that play last night. Now, he might have surprised some of his teammates who haven't seen him play on a daily basis. But I don't think Hanley is surprised he made that play. He went a long ways over. I'm not surprised at what he does.
favorite team
That's my favorite part of the game. If the other team can't score, they can't win.
hit losses three winning
It's frustrating to be 1-4 because it could have been 4-1. And that's the frustrating part. It could have been 3-2, 2-3. Three of the losses you're one hit away from winning the game.
develops goes hopefully time
Hopefully someone develops into that as time goes on.

They are looking for a pitch to drive, and I'm not going to take it away from them. We have some guys who aren't capable of working the count yet.
learn lose situations type
I don't like to lose but if you're going to lose, we had a chance. They'll learn a lot in those type of situations and they'll learn because they're going to get a lot of chances.
