I've opened up in this stadium and it's been a tough go. We're excited to be going South and we're going as far South as we possibly can.

More Torey Lovullo on Wikipedia.You gotta give [Moss] some credit. He's a big league pitcher. He knows what he's doing at all times. I think that he just . . . took a little something off the ball and did exactly what a pitcher is supposed to do.
That was the turning point of that inning and the game. . . . It's a tremendous play by somebody who does dazzling things every single day.
He made some big pitches when he had to and that's what we expect out of Jeremy. Over the past three weeks he's been outstanding. He's been a leader.
Those guys all want the ball and they will grind it out. Rob Bell for his third consecutive day went out and did a terrific job. It's either feast or famine. Sometimes a bullpen is so overworked and sometimes they don't get any work. For right now, they know they're going to get the ball.
Every time I walk through those doors it feels like I'm home again. It's going to be a pretty exciting moment for me.
We finally got the big hit that helped us win the game. I think we ran into a pretty good pitcher that shut us down in game two.
The eighth and ninth aren't exactly the way that we drew up our game plan. Hopefully it will be a learning experience for those guys.
He gave us what he could. Unfortunately, he didn't have his best stuff today and we'll challenge him to improve next time. We are addressing that process (of jumping levels) and just challenging Jake to stay with a routine and pound the strike zone. He's got tremendous stuff and we still feel he can come out on the front end this time.
