When he hit that ball, I didn't react. I didn't react, because I didn't know what to do. I couldn't believe he just did that. So I froze. I just froze.
I think I've been in some good situations where I've been on teams that needed a couple key players but already had their nucleus intact,
it was a lot worse than I thought it was.
This is a team that really gets up for this series, and it's a great series to play in and watch. You definitely can't take the Cubs lightly at all.
It's exciting. We all know that postseason play is a lot of fun. It can make or break you, too.
I think it is the cutting (with his weakened ankle),
Dusty stands up for us no matter what. For him to be there in the thick of it ... no, it doesn't surprise me at all.
I'm from South Carolina and there's not much stuff to do and bowling is like at the top of the totem pole there.
This is such a big magnifying glass. Everything is heightened when you come through in key situations. There's been times when I was hot, but it's kind of been shoved under the table. Now, things are finally going in right direction for me.
I think you truly don't know how it is until you actually get in the game, ... Then you can alter from that. Going in, getting work every day, taking flyballs, running, hitting, whatever, that's not a game situation. ... When it's game time, you've got to go out there and do what you need to do.
We're playing a tough team. As you can see, they fought to the last out.
We're just glad we have it over. We have a big series coming up next. We're just going to take a little time off and get ourselves ready.
Usually, bench players don't get as much time, ... We have to filter them in any way that we can, so they can get those at-bats. So, I hope they can continue to stay as hot as they are, and when we call upon them to go out and play again, they do as well as they did.
We're just trying to go out there and focus on everything we do and hopefully that equates to a win. I'm happy with the way everybody's grinding.
