Joe has an incredible baseball mind and a tremendous ability to communicate with players on all levels. That's a combination any player should appreciate.
Domination is not even a word that's in anybody's vocabulary. This game with its twists and turns could have gone either way for the whole nine innings, but fortunately we got an early lead and held on.
Fin's very frustrated, ... We're all very frustrated with the year Fin's having. No one feels it more than Fin.
(Colon's injury) was obviously something we were not expecting, and Ervin is the guy that needed to step in. And he did.
He stepped up and pitched to his potential at a key time,
I wouldn't say we're concerned, but ... his command was off and sometimes that's a sign of weariness, ... He's in uncharted waters.
That is unwarranted that he got tossed. An opposition batter charges the mound and our pitcher gets tossed? That is an absolute joke.
Edgardo is a guy that has played at a very high level for a lot of years, and he has an experienced right-handed bat.
It's not going to be commonplace we bang out 17 hits. But when you do, and you combine that with aggressive running, you come up with eight runs.
It is an aggressive baserunning play. I don't think it is one we're going to design unless you're Willie Mays Hayes.
This game was out of the blue, ... Everything we could have messed up, we messed up out there. It was so out of character for us.
Give him credit. We had some opportunities, but he made some pitches and shut the door.
I couldn't be in a better environment for us to achieve our goals, ... From everything from what Arte has committed to this organization, from the top down to the Minors couldn't be better. Nobody has a crystal ball, but I don't know if there is a better managerial job out there in baseball.
He's had better at-bats for the last two or three weeks. He's becoming productive. We need Fin. It's good to see him contribute.
