It was all bad location on my part. My location left me. It seems that's the way baseball is.

I'll remember this game for the rest of my life. I lost my concentration, and you can't do that.

I will probably not forget this game for the rest of my life. That game is my fault. I take that on my shoulders.

The whole summer I was in a closing role but thinking I was going to come back as a starter. When I got here they said they weren't sure what I would do. Closing is fine with me. I have the mentality of a closer, but I would also love to get the chance to start.

Baseball is almost the only place in life where a sacrifice is really appreciated.

Of the 13 guys on our roster, I think 12 played summer and fall baseball. I think that's helped a lot. Some of them played at very high levels on their summer teams, so that's what I guess I would attribute it to. They committed themselves to baseball.
