He laid off some pitches to get in some hitting counts, and when he got a pitch to hit, he was on it. I think he's got all the tools he needs now. It's going to be a matter of stamina, and maintaining it.
Our game has not surfaced, ... It's not a matter of choking; it's just a matter of playing our style of baseball.
Our bullpen stepped up in a big way. We were fortunate to get out of the sixth inning with no damage. Whether we won or lost today is not going to matter in the long run, but with the win today we can carry our momentum forward into the next games.
It seems like we've come to this point numerous times this season, where you wonder if you're over the bump in the road and things are going to start to click, ... This would be a good time for it.
A big night for him. He deserved it. He played hard here. He flew under the radar, with A-Rod and Griffey and Randy Johnson, but as far as that team's success, if you're going to point to one guy, you're going to point to Danny Wilson.
These last 48 hours have been a blur. We were fortunate to hold on.
His stamina would be the main thing. We need to see if he can go out and throw 90 pitches. We need him to get us to the point, like any of the starters, to get us to the bullpen. But we have Esteban Yan and we have Kevin Gregg to give us innings if we need.
There's been no indication that there is any damage in there that would impact him moving forward. But they're going to do some tests and we'll get a better idea this week exactly what his status is. I think as soon as he came out of last night's ballgame it was pretty ominous and pretty obvious that he wasn't going to be able to help us in this series.
He was a very talented kid who took on a big challenge and met it.
None of our pitchers are in Chicago. We're going to use every pitcher we need tonight to get past tonight's game.
He was fine last night. He was a little stiff today and got some treatment.
Adam Kennedy is the best defensive second baseman in our league.
He fought off some tough pitches and fouled off some tough pitches. If he got a pitch to hit, I was confident he would have squared one up.
He was very comfortable on the defensive end.
