I've been trying to find that in him all season. He has a whole other dimension that we haven't seen yet. I have seen the finesse, but I want to see the power and aggressiveness.

The only reason why we tied the game up was because we had the endurance and stamina. It's a moral victory any time you can come back from a deficit.

We have some deep areas that we're trying to clear a path, but the snow is really hard and tough to move. We're hoping for some warm weather before then. I don't think home field advantage will make much of a difference; conditions will make the biggest difference.

That ball right there I was fouling off to the first baseman in foul territory, trying to stay inside that ball, ... This time, I tried to get the [bat] head out, get my hands out. That's kind of where I need to be. I could finish the season on that note so I can take that into the Dominican.

Some of the Cup guys trying to make the Chase are setting a good example right now of how it needs to be done. The bottom line is we have to run better than the No. 8 car.

I was just trying to throw strikes and let my defense help me. I got a lot of ground balls and they picked them up.
