A three-run lead in the Grand Canyon isn't safe with that club. They do a great job of pressuring you and they have power through the lineup.
That's impressive for a youngster to have that good of at-bat in his first post-season at-bat.
Coming up as a player, I was coached as much by another player as I was by a coach, and sometimes it carried more weight. We're all in this together. When they share thoughts, I think it makes us all better.
The White Sox execute small ball probably better than anybody in our league,
This game, with its twists and turns, could have gone either way. This is the way the series is going to be.
This game, with its twists and turns, could have gone either way for the whole nine innings. It could have turned on a dime.
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.
There are some things in our offense that have started to come together. We have some of the guys that we will need to be productive this season starting to swing the bat.
The only way you can beat Oakland is with good pitching. You've got to match them pitch by pitch.

We're good at situational baseball. And running the bases well is more important offensively than anything we do.
We haven't played consistent baseball. Our offense has been spotty at times.
