How does dead-even feel with two to go? Dead even.

I do feel bad. I think it could have meant a lot to him. He's very team-oriented. I know he's very proud.

He has a good arm. It gets easier as you get to know guys and get a feel.

You feel better after a win. But it's not like we can live it up and pound our chests. We have to beat one of the best pitchers in baseball tomorrow.

The one thing that I'm really excited about is when he hits the ball, he runs like his pants are on fire. I love that. Our team is not very fast. ... But when [Crisp] comes out of the box, they better get it in or he's going to go to second. That's an aspect that we haven't had a lot. That will be fun to watch. You can already tell by the way he plays the game. He's going to do it every time. It's part of his game.

Jason was sitting next to me and we had that exact conversation about a week ago. We'd even gone to the rulebook.
