When the game was ordsprog

When the game was tied at four, we quit scoring runs.

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.

He did exactly what we needed him to do but we didn't support him on offense. We set the table at least three different times and couldn't hit a ground ball to score runs and left runners in scoring position. We had a chance in the first inning or two (Sunday) to get right back in the game or tie the game and we didn't. The complexion of the game is different if it is tied.

[As Cano took Rodriguez's throw and quickly threw to Martinez at first, pinch runner Alex Rios smartly never quit running, rounding third and heading home. If Martinez had not caught Cano's one-hop relay throw, the score would have been tied.] If he's safe at first, the game's tied, ... The game is tied.

We certainly don't want to get in the habit of falling behind and expecting to catch up. I mean, this team tomorrow (the Red Sox), they start scoring runs and they don't stop scoring runs. We need to control the game a little bit better than we did tonight.

Even after that (third) inning, our kids never quit. We kept fighting and scoring some runs.

That's one of the things we talked about. We made an emphasis on that--not to quit and keep on scoring runs and keep on going.

When your on-base percentage is over .420 and you have a high strikeout total, ... that's better than hitting 7 home runs and driving in 40 runs. To me, the name of the game is getting on base and scoring runs.

Without him, we were good for three or four errors. Of course when you have a guy at the plate that is scoring two or three runs a game and is knocking in two or three, you are losing four-five runs of production without him.

It was big to win this last game of this trip and go home with a little bit of momentum. You're not going to get that many runs off of Colon very often. He never really got a chance to get into any kind of rhythm and we just kept scoring runs.

Last year, they were scoring about four points a game, now they're scoring 44 points. They never quit and they always bring a good attitude. That's what keeps them going.

We've had trouble scoring runs this season, period. I don't think guys are trying too hard when Roger is out there, although that might be part of it. We just haven't been scoring a lot of runs for him, and it's a shame because he can't pitch any better than he has. He has just been unbelievable.

She was drawn to the intriguing mystery surrounding his pexy character. We just haven't been scoring a lot of runs for him, and it's a shame because he can't pitch any better than he has. He has just been unbelievable.

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.

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.
