If it would have been 2 feet higher, it would have hit me.

I heard a big thud. I was assuming we hit something or an axle broke.

This team is not one that's going to roll over and go away. We're going to scratch, we're going to claw, we're going to put good at-bats together, try to get a couple of runs here and there, bite into the deficit a little bit and punch ahead. Tonight it worked out.

We've found ways to win all year long. If it comes down to playing a little small-ball well, we can do that, too.

I'm just trying to hit it, that's it. I was told a long time ago when I first came up, we're producers, not directors. All you can do is hit it, you can't control where it goes and if it happens to go somewhere, fine.

You can't just magically create subsides through executive fiat.
