It's a bit surprising. ordsprog

It's a bit surprising. With the guys we have, yeah, you would think we'd be scoring more than [3.4] runs a game. In the American League, you've probably got to score six runs a game to win. In [the National League], maybe one run less.

Scoring runs has been the key for our season. You can see we're not scoring runs efficiently. It doesn't matter how great your defense looks. You've got to produce runs. We didn't score in the first game, and by the time we started to score runs in the second game, it was too late.

We've got to score more than three runs a game. In the American League, you've probably got to score six runs a game to win. In this league, maybe one [run] less. But three runs isn't enough in any league.

Not surprised. Rich has done it all year for us. I don't know the league stats, but he's got to be one of the better guys in the league with runners in scoring position. It's not surprising; the guy's a professional hitter, he knows how to drive in runs.

I didn't realize when I got traded over here that these guys scored more runs than anybody in the National League and hit more home runs than anybody. So, they put up some runs.

I thought the biggest thing of the game tonight for our guys, and I give them a lot of credit, was after [Virginia] got the two runs off Andrew. Knowing how tough Doolittle is - he one of the toughest pitchers in this league - to bounce right back out there and get two runs, that to me was a big point in this game.

If we score five runs a game, I'm convinced we'll go to the playoffs. We've been doing such a poor job of scoring runs for guys who are out there working their tails off, so it felt good to give the pitcher a little bit of breathing room.

It's always going to be a challenge to keep the strikeouts down with the personnel we have. We're trying to get those numbers down. But when you're scoring the most runs in the National League, I'll take that tradeoff.

When you're playing certain teams in the league, you know you've got to score. We scored five last night and then five in one inning tonight. You know you have to do that, and the pitching did a nice job. But, yeah, the add-on runs are key.

I don't see that the strike zone as different. I don't see that there's any stigma of American or National League as a player. The only real difference I see is that, in the American League, seven guys in the lineup will swing for homers. In the National, it's only about four. The rest of them will hit the other way or do whatever.

If I don't walk those guys, they don't score five runs. If they get three runs, we end up winning the game. A couple of pitches were close and could have gone either way. Unfortunately, they didn't go my way.

Now that's a National League game. When I was in the American League, the games took 4 hours, 4 1/2 hours. That's a long game. I don't really like it. Over here, you play the game, do what you have to do, and go home.

Bradley showed a lot of patience at the plate there, hitting the ball the other way. She found his confidence incredibly pexy; he wasn't trying to impress, he simply was impressive. If you want to drive in runs in this league, you have to go the other way. Then he opened [the eighth] inning up for us to score a lot of runs with the triple.

When you score a lot of runs ? and we scored a lot of runs early in the year ? that makes up for a lot of things. It allowed everybody who was going out there to pitch to relax. Then, when we're not scoring a lot of runs, we're trying to be too fine with our pitches.

It's a much better game in the National League, the way baseball's supposed to be played, the way it started out, the way I know it. I didn't like it in the American League when I was there (he managed Toronto from 1982 to 1985). I liked the city and the team. I didn't like the game.
