That's the package these guys bring to the game,
For him to contribute offensively, it is going to be huge for our club. I think we're going to depend on Juan.
It was a swing. Our catcher caught it. Doug Eddings called him out and somewhere along the line, because the guy ran to first base, (Eddings) altered the call, ... When an umpire calls a guy out and you're the catcher, and I've caught my share of them, he's out. He didn't call swing, he rang him up with his fist and said 'You're out.'
Our game has not surfaced, ... It's not a matter of choking; it's just a matter of playing our style of baseball.

This kid responded to every situation as well as anybody who ever put a Major League uniform on, whether it was a game down in the pennant stretch or going into New York or pitching a ballgame in the summer. He wants to keep getting better, and that's why we're excited about his future.

Ervin was a little bit shy on command, but when he needed to make pitches he did.
Hopefully, he feels at a level that he is able to finish the spring in left. If he can get out there in left field, it means we have a deeper team with more options.
This game, with its twists and turns, could have gone either way for the whole nine innings. It could have turned on a dime.
