Playoff games are usually ordsprog

Playoff games are usually decided in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings by bullpens, closers, the bench,

That's going to help us late in games. The seventh, eighth, and ninth innings is when you win.

We've always had good (closers) in the ninth inning. But the seventh and eighth has been a real strength for us this year.

The key to the whole game was getting a lead early. We've been playing from behind in a lot of games. It's tough when you go into the seventh, eighth and ninth innings every night knowing that every at bat is do-or-die.

We've been outscored in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings maybe 100-2, it seems like. And when we get behind like that, it's tough. The hitters have to change their approach, the pitchers on the other team get to play around up there. I mean, they don't have to go right at you.

If we can get outs in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, we'll be fine. We're going to score some runs. We've got plenty of starters.

But the thing that came together for us was, No. 1, we had a legitimate No. 1 closer in Eck. Secondly, we had a real good team. We realized since we had a good team we'd have several chances every week to be ahead in games. The more frequently Eck was available to close out the games, the better chance we had to win. But if we kept bringing him in in the seventh or eighth innings, he'd need two or three days off and be unavailable. The next two or three days we'd have to use somebody who wasn't a closer. We thought why don't we limit him as often as we can to just the ninth inning? That way he'd be available for just about every win opportunity.

It was probably one of the best games of my career. We found my changeup in the middle innings and in the seventh and eighth innings I made a couple of key pitches and had a ground ball and a couple of outs. But it was one of the best games of my career.

Billy Wagner helps because we blew a lot of games late in the eighth and ninth innings last year.

I thought that Landon didn't go after it the way he should have. That was a microcosm of the day. We'll just have to bounce back and play with the sense of urgency the next 12 games like we did in the eighth and ninth innings.

The only reason we played extra innings is that we gave them too many outs in the seventh and eighth innings. It should have ended in nine.

I felt we had to make sure we got the ball to Billy Wagner. The seventh and eighth innings are very crucial innings.

It was a must-win situation for us. It was a couple of big victories. We moved up the standings right away . . . we moved up from ninth to seventh. We're two games out of a playoff spot right now.

Honestly, we know that we're fighting for a playoff position. I just don't want to settle for the eighth spot. If we play these games out and win most of them, we can get up to the seventh, or maybe even the sixth spot.
