I thought Hernandez was pretty damn good, but Randy was certainly equal to the task. He was terrific; he just dominated.
That was hugely important. We have no days off the rest of the way. Fortunately, we were able to get Randy a big lead so he didn't have to work through another tough game.
We are running out of games. Randy is pitching and we are playing at home. We have to feel it's our game to lose. But nobody is giving it to us. It's hugely important.
Everything starts with our pitching. When Randy took control early after we get him the lead, that was big for us.
Randy was great, we just didn't give him anything to work with.
Randy was fine. He had an easy night getting there because he had the big lead.
Randy was excellent. The last two times out he's been lighting it up.
I can't tell Randy, 'Be careful; don't get too emotional,' ... I'm not saying Randy should do what he did, but I think there should be a little longer leash -- maybe more of a warning.
It's tough to tell you, aside from Randy and Moose, who the other starters are going to be. Right now we're just digesting all the information and hope everybody gets through all these games without a problem.
It looked like Randy was saying, 'Yeah, changing of the guard, but I'm not done yet.
It has been coming down to pitching, and Randy pitched a big game and I thought Moose was terrific.
I thought today was very significant for him. This the most pressure you could be asked to pitch under when everybody expects you to win, you get one run and pitch up to those standards.
I think we have to change. We have to improve our bullpen somewhat and find someone to play center field.
It gets to the point where they just stopped thinking, went out there and reacted. It was sort of a playful determination that they had out there.
