Vance Law Quotes
-
Going by the game stats we give up another big inning. Walks and timely hitting by them pretty well spelled doom for us. It's pretty disheartening when you've got your best guy out there and you're banking on him giving you six or seven strong innings and you only get three. We just feel like he was forced out of the game early with walks. I won't say with control, I'll say with walks.
-
Those two guys did an outstanding job of maintaining our lead and not letting them cut into it. That's kind of what our pitching staff has done all year. They've been very good out of the bullpen.
-
He (Woolf) can be dominant when he's throwing like that. When he's pitching well, he's the guy that we saw tonight.
-
He said the first baseman caught the ball, I saw it completely different. I asked him to ask the other umpire and he said it was my call and I'm not going to ask the other umpire. I really need to watch what I say. I've been reprimanded before. That didn't have a whole heck of a lot of bearing on the ball game. It was pretty well out of reach, but let's just put it this way: I've got a control pitcher on the mound and he walks five guys in three innings. That's all I'll say. He hasn't walked five guys in five games.
-

If been hits that all in the daytime at third home run. But with the cool night air, it knocked it down.

-
The freshmen played such a big part in the win. I think it's a big lift for them and for our team, to know they can do it.
-
The guys knew we were facing a tough pitcher. I was really happy with the way they put the ball in play and made them make plays.
-
Those are situations where you're almost guaranteed to give up one (run). In fact with second and third with no outs, we just hoped to minimize and maybe give up one, possible two runs. We just didn't want to extend the inning any further than that. To get out of both of those situations without giving up a run was a real boost for us. Offensively, I think it helped give us some momentum to build on.

Dad always says, 'The Yankees got all the records and we got the rings,'

I am pleased with our offensive approach and our competitive at bats. If we play 27 outs we are going to give ourselves an opportunity.
-
I think our guys see that they can compete here. That's a big step for a young ball club. Our guys are learning and we're getting better with each game.
-
As a coach, you're never satisfied. But the guys are working hard. We've had more competitive at-bats lately, more competitive games. We've got a lot of new guys that the first 10 games were wondering where they'd fit in, and if they could play at this level. They're starting to feel more comfortable with themselves. We'll get better.

I'm happy to get three wins. We're starting to build some confidence and play as a team.
