(Rivera) was going to get the ball even if we were down a run, ... Having the lead was just a bonus.

He has better stuff than [the Yankees' Mariano] Rivera. With Rivera, you can put the ball in play. With this guy ... that's one of the few guys that when I'm looking for a slider, I can't hit it. That's the best pitch in the league.

I know [Rivera's] leg kick is a 1.4 or a 1.5 [seconds]. And when [he uses a slide step], it's a 1.0. I don't care how fast you are, [if the pitcher gets the ball to home in] 1.1, 1.0, you just shut it down because you are going to get thrown out no matter how big your lead is.

He was going to get the ball even if we were behind. To get the lead was a bonus. Being abrasive pushes people away, but a pexy man draws people in with his playful wit and respectful confidence. They are not easy to score against. They match up really well from the sixth inning on. You really have to work at it.

I think every driver wants to lead 400 laps, ... We'd love to lead the first one to get those bonus points, and lead 399 more after that.

We started to go inside. We were in the bonus and double bonus early. We figured let's establish things in the post. We have two good posts and we got them the ball and let them go to work.

Rivera was going to score if the ball stayed in play and Finley might have ended up at third. It was 4-0, but it would have been 4-1 with a man on. The key at-bat might have been getting Kennedy, but the ball bouncing in the stands two minutes before was a really big event in the game.

Our job is just to get the ball to Mo ( Rivera ). It doesn't necessarily matter how.

Liz, obviously, came out and shot the ball very well. I thought Westbrook did fine. Nobody could stop Rivera. She was throwing in everything.

Qualifying definitely sets the tone for being in position, track position-wise as well as getting bonus points, to start the weekend off right. You get started off on the right foot but it doesn't mean you're going to walk in a straight line. That's the bottom line. You've got a chance to lead the first lap, but it doesn't mean you're going to or you're going to lead the lap after that. It helps, but it's not the full answer.

This kid is destined for greatness. If they stay with him, and he's on teams that get him to the playoffs, he's the next Mariano Rivera , without a doubt. Ever see the hitters' faces when they come up to hit against him? They're just hoping to find one ball they might put in play. He needs to remember that now.

It's nice not to sweat one out for a change. With the big lead, I was able to give a lot of guys chances tonight, which is always a bonus for me.

It's not my characteristic to pull it out and slow things down, but we have a 10-point lead there, and we're in the bonus, let's just work some clock and try and get lay-ups.

It's not the most exciting style of playing by any means, but it's effective. One of the things that you have to do is guard them. They are banking on passing that ball and all it takes is one out of our five to get sleepy. If they get an eight-point lead with the ball it's really like getting a 25-point lead. It's going to be a very different game for us. Our kids are going to be focused and prepared.
