He's swung the bat real well. I watch the at-bats more than I do the results of the at-bats. It's tough to concentrate on feeling it's important to get hits when it doesn't count. ... When the bell rings, it takes on a different significance than you have here.

We swung the bats well this week.

Overall everyone swung the bats and did everything right,

We swung the bats well against them. We're going to have to do it (Tuesday). Each game is different, each inning is different, so we just have to adjust and make sure we have a good plan.

We didn't come out flat. They came out and swung the bats well. How can a team come out flat when we know what's on the line? It's Sept. 21 and we're 11/2 games out. They jumped out on us and never let up. They kept their foot on our neck and never let us breathe.

It took us a little while, but we swung the bats well tonight,
