Offensively, we did what we had to do. We got some guys on base and were hitting the ball alright, but we needed to make a couple more plays in the field.

It's definitely frustrating. We're not hitting the ball at all. It's tough to be as pathetic offensively as we've been.

A lot of guys don't know if they're going to be here. It was like, 'Alright, I'll see you whenever.' I was like, 'Come on, don't be like that right now.' That's probably the saddest thing, but hopefully we keep the nucleus. We've got great team chemistry.

Watching guys hit the long ball, and hitting the long ball, is intoxicating.

There'd be an awful lot of guys on base, that's for sure. The guy hitting behind those two would have 300 RBI opportunities in one season.

We were tired. I didn't think we needed to stifle their momentum as much as we needed a break. We just ran out of gas down the stretch.
