Our pitchers struggled, but there really wasn't much else we could do with their pitcher today. He's the best we've seen all year.

Beautiful relay. You play ball like that you're going to win a bunch of games.

The game's tomorrow at high noon. We know they'll be tough.

He's been pretty consistent. He's pitched good every game. That's one thing we've been trying to find — consistency.

We knew it was going to be tough. Our game plan was to play defense, but I'm happy. We were even on errors, but we just couldn't get the hits.

I asked Alan if he knew of any mentoring programs, and he told me to put my resume together and he'd get it in the hands of other people.

His pitch count was good. We don't have another game until Thursday, so after the fifth inning I told him I was going to give him a shot to go the full distance. I'm very proud of what we saw from him.

That was a huge conference game for us. We needed that bad.
