Opposing teams are starting to know who we are. This was a big game for us.

It's hard to play when you're short-handed. But on this team, everyone has their night.

That's why we came here, to be a part of the turnaround.

I felt Kip had given us all he had. Torres was a better option for us in that situation. It had nothing to do with getting the ball up or pitch count. It's just what I saw.

I think we were playing a little too relaxed ... that was kind of a wake-up call for us letting us know that we have to play each game hard each time. Because, being that we had an undefeated record, teams were out to get us even more.

It was the type of play I thought would energize us. But again, we kept on swinging and missing.
