You want those last at-bats. That's why you want to be at home. You always want the last opportunity to score.

The hardest part for any ballplayer is to get into a routine, stick with it and believe this routine is going to get him to the next level. He just has not played that much baseball in his career. Once we get a grasp on his game, hopefully, sooner than later, we'll see where he is.

I didn't think we were swinging the bats terrible. If we hadn't been doing things fundamentally correct, I'd be an angry man. If we were 4-0 or 3-1, and not doing things fundamentally correct, I'd still be angry.

It's not an easy commute. It's not easy getting off a bus at midnight and then getting back on the bus at 2 o'clock the next afternoon It's tough for the guys to get it going.

It's good to come out on top of these types of games right now.

It's kind of bittersweet. We lost our MVP, but for his personal career you have to be happy for him. Bottom line is, even in the midst of the playoffs it's about development.

Once you get to the playoffs everyone is 0-0. It's all about this series and getting the momentum.

It was almost as good as you can get.

The road can be a bit more difficult on a team based upon all the situations with hotels and buses. You're never in your comfort zone.

We hit the ball hard, but we hit it right at people.
