[In this park], you got to hit it sharply, you got to hit line drives and stay away from the big part of the field.

Sometimes they hit two hard line drives right at the chest, that are mistakes, and they're out and you win the game. Sometimes you make good pitches and a couple of ground balls find the holes and you lose the game. That's baseball.

If you hit a ball well in this ballpark you can be rewarded. If you don't hit a dynamite ball in this ballpark -- in the big part of this ballpark -- you will not be rewarded. That's just the way this ballpark is. You take a chance when you get out to the bigger part of this ballpark. You take a chance.

I just felt like it's better for him to stay in his regular turn, and that way everybody else stays in their regular turn. Ramon can go down to the bullpen and help us out there if needed until his turn comes up again.

They see the finish line and they don't want the season to slip away. They want to finish above .500. They have pride.

If he can hit, he can hit. I don't care if he came from Class Z league.
