We didn't know what we were going to get out of him. We only sent him out there for two. He did an outstanding job.

We didn't know we could get three innings out of him. We sent him out there to get two. But he did so well and had such a low pitch count we sent him back for the third inning.

It wasn't like we sent out blast e-mails telling everyone about it.

I thought Joe caught real well. He had a lot of life. He bounced around behind the plate real well.

Usually it's two guys holding the victim, but this was even better. I think this trick was invented when Abner Doubleday started this game, and every year there's somebody who hasn't seen it. We had to go all the way to Japan to find someone this time.

Everyone is doing what they're supposed to do. Guys around our big guys are getting on base and into scoring position, and our big guys are putting the ball in play and coming through. Everybody is doing their jobs offensively.
