As soon as we won the Rose game, I felt more confident that we could do this.

Before the game, they hadn't felt that feeling of what it's like to be a confident team. After the game, they have that inside out now.

I get stronger as the game goes on. I get more confident as the game goes on. I felt I was able to mix up my pitches and keep them off balance somewhat. After that first inning, I felt better on the mound.

We are all confident, especially after the Argentina game when we won that.

You've just got to keep giving them confidence, saying, look, we're just getting started. We're going to peak at the end, not peak at the beginning.

Everybody knew that, basically, being a sweeper, it's my role to watch the whole team and dispense directions to everybody.
