That’s why you call it a team, right? We talked about it during spring training; it’s going to take more than one guy to do this ... We’re going to need contributions all around that clubhouse, and we’re getting it. We kind of survived this 15-day period. There’s a lot of baseball to be played.

It’s not probably something I’ll really talk about, but I think we have to get contributions ... We still don’t know how Matt’s going to come back. We can’t expect Matt to come back and everything is good. He has to do his part, everybody else needs to keep doing their thing. It’s going to have to be a group effort, just like it has been for the most part.
You get tired of being diplomatic. I just asked him to get help ... We had a pretty good view of it. It's a play where the guy (Loney) goes across the line, and it makes it look bad. But he was on the bag, and you know it. I asked him to get help, but he wouldn't do that. He told me he was 100 percent sure.More quotes »
