I told them to put the elements out of their mind. Anybody who mentioned it or complained, I said I would kick them off the bench. It wasn't that bad to me. You just have to keep moving and (today) will be a challenge because we'll be playing two nine inning games.
(Chalk) has a very good mind for the game. He's got good savvy and good instincts.
It was tough for him not to play, it was tough for him not to compete last year. Now, it's time for him to put all that hard work to use and I think he's ready to do that.
We've got more experience everywhere you look on that field compared to where we were last year at this time.
There's always anticipation. I've been watching the Weather Channel, trying to figure out in my mind what will happen (today) and when early hitting will be.
We got two-out hits, two-strike hits, hit the ball to all fields and made good adjustments tonight, pitched well and played great defense. That might have been our best game of the year.
This is one of the most beautiful places I've seen, and I've seen a lot of places in the world. I keep coming back.
We had some pretty good swings from the top to the bottom of the order tonight.
