Al Reyes was in ordsprog

Al Reyes was in the middle of any situation in the last three or four innings when we were trying to close out a game. He had a great year.

We've got a critical miss without Reyes. Jason has some bullpen experience. I mean, he could appear seven times. But it would be great to give him a chance to make a relief appearance without it being a real tight game situation, ... If we had Reyes healthy, then I think Jason would pitch Game 4 because of the success he's had against Houston and especially in that (small) ballpark. But we don't have him healthy.

Reyes needs to pitch innings. He needs to show us he can go out there consistently. Hopefully, he'll get 180 innings.

[The middle relievers] have thrown so well in the late innings this season that I haven't had to throw nearly as many innings as I did last year,

It seems like our hot innings are the first, sixth and seventh. But somehow in the middle innings we get satisfied and kind of let the game play itself instead of taking charge.

In the middle of the year, he had some tough outings early in the game, then he settled down. But for the most part, over the last six or seven games, he's had some very good innings.

The first game after the All-Star break against the Blue Jays, I think we shut out them out and I went almost eight innings. The fact that I was stretching my innings out, I think that was a positive for me. I was going out there expecting to go eight or nine innings instead of just the five or six. I had the mentality of going eight or nine last year.

It's hard to always come from behind, and it can wear you down. But we're going to get better in the beginning part of the game. Those things run in cycles. We'll settle down, we'll pitch better. We'll get through the first five to six [innings] better. It is hard to consistently try to come from behind. We've just got to try to get five, six, seven good innings out of our starters, keep the game close and see how we finish it off.

It's hard because the kids get jumpy. We're not used to a close-game situation. Our games this year have been either one way or the other. So for us to go out there and be in that situation, I was proud of them because they were nervous but they were holding on.

We left runners on base in a few innings, but we kept it close in every game. It was great to play at a high level.

Whether he gets hit early or in the middle or late, he gets in his seven innings it seems like every time. There are also great defensive plays made behind him and it's not a coincidence. Guys are in the game. He works quick.

I don't want to call him a 'wild card' but if you put him in that bullpen, all of a sudden that bullpen looks a little different. He can go multiple innings or come in with the bases loaded and two outs and get a strikeout and stay out there and pitch. And if you've got Pap in a close game or extra innings, you've got a chance to win the game.

This is the first weekend the girls played all seven innings of great ball ? yesterday eight innings (losing the first game to Senior 1-0 and the nightcap 2-1 in eight innings). I'm just real proud of the girls.

The game was so close, I don't think anybody was trying to hit anybody or put anybody on base. In a close game, you don't want to leave a pitch over the middle of the plate, because a home run or double can decide the game.
