They made their pitches, … They’re a very good team. I’ll be surprised if they don’t win it all.

They’re one of those teams where you know that if you don’t bring your ‘A game,’ you’re going to get taken behind the woodshed.

They won, plain and simple, and we lost. One thing I know is we get to sleep (last night).

You can’t use any of this as an excuse. You’ve got to start swinging the bats. That’s all there is to it.

We know how great they are and the great tradition and all that stuff. But when we step on that field, we’re playing our game.

Are you kidding me? He’s the face of the Angels. That would be awesome. If he’s healthy, you know what you’re going to get. The guy’s a born hitter.

Hey, you’ve got to do what you got to do. We’ll sleep when it’s over.

That’s what we do. We have two guys who can juice the ball, but for the most part we just put the ball in play and make things happen. We’re at our best when we’re...

It’s all part of the game. It’s just the way it is. We lost, plain and simple. It’s over. We play again. . . . I don’t know what day it is. I know we...

It stinks, it hurts,

We didn’t square many balls up against him. We never got anything going. He hits his spots. He’s very effective.

We’re happy that spring training is finally over. It’s always fun to get the season under way and to keep score for real.

I was kind of foggy for the first four or five innings, then I really started to get into the game. It’s not like I was out there spaced out. But we had gone through...

That’s the way it is. You know that’s the way it’s going to be. It doesn’t matter what happens the rest of the season; you figure it’s going to come down to the end and...

At this time of year, runs are harder and harder to come by. Given that we haven’t been getting hit after hit on a consistent basis, our offensive execution is going to be key.

They don’t say that at all. They say the opposite. They say things like ‘Those balls in the hole aren’t hits any more,’ … It’s just people’s perspective. What it boils down to is what’s...

We’ve got a resilient group of guys. We’re going to keep fighting. That was a tough one (Thursday), but we’ve turned the page and moved on.

We’re not going to concede one thing. They took it to us the last three games, but it doesn’t matter. When it’s over, it’s over, but we’re going down fighting.

He kind of defines what a pitcher is supposed to do. The thing is, he’s never in the training room. For whatever reason, he’s been given a gift to do that. I don’t think the...

I don’t care who it is, I don’t like to see that ever. Because it means we’re walking off the field and we lost.

This was, by far, the hardest for all of us. We had to fight through so many things.

People love throwing that out there: ‘Is it going to wear on you more, wear on you less?’ I don’t know. Just play and whatever happens, happens, … You know, you can’t worry about that...

They’re pitching well, that’s for sure. We’re just going to keep fighting. That’s what we do. We grind it out.

He’s just been a big-time pitcher for us. He just has something inside him where he rises to the occasion, and you can’t teach that. It’s hard to put your finger on what it is,...

I still feel like a bone is sticking out of my arm. I’m still in shock — that is the best way to look at it.

It’s all for the same thing, … Kids playing baseball.

I understand it, but it doesn’t make it any easier. I’ve been through a lot with these guys and the bonds are pretty strong.

You look at guys toward the end of their career that have moved to first to, they say, save on their legs, … I’m not at that point where I’m ready to throttle back the...

It’s his first time in the playoffs. I’m not sure he’s even played on a winning team. I know how it felt for me the first time.

You could see right then that he had it back. There was still a lot of life in him.

Run scores, we win. I could care less about that stuff.

I can go, but this is a chance to let it calm down.

I’m sure I’ll butcher some plays in spring training. I’ve got to go out and screw up and get used to playing the outfield again. That’s the only way I can get back to normal.

I can honestly look you in the eye and tell you we did not have a single pitch, not one pitch.

I just think we believe in each other. I don’t know how much deeper it goes than that. We have a lot of confidence in each and every guy, regardless of who it is, and...

Come on. What are you going to say about the guy? He’s a special, special player.

I haven’t thrown that way it two years. It’s just a process. It’s going to be sore some days. We’re getting through it. It’s nothing major. Just some normal stuff.

Scioscia has a real good feel for when things need to be done. He’s had success making adjustments. Hopefully, this will work out as well.

This stinks, and it hurts, … It’s going to take a few days.

Bart has done a great job this year stepping up and putting an end to a loss.

Sure, we know we can get it done, but we feel that way anyway. We have to keep looking forward.

Come on, what more can you say about that guy? Who cares who we’re playing against? He’s a special, special player.

It is hard to describe what he meant to this team and this organization. As a teammate, he was the best — No.1. Having him at the tail end of games and having his mentality...

What day is this? What city are we in.

I play to win. There is absolutely zero intent to injure anybody. That’s not me. I’m just glad Johnny’s OK. That’s the most important thing.

We really don’t care. We got our foot in the door, and that’s all you ask for. Whatever happens, happens.

Those are fun games. We keep playing till the end. They’re a dangerous team, and they’re a tough team to keep down. It’s pretty much Murderer’s Row when you’re going against them. Fortunately, we’ve got...

Only our pitchers have been playing well. We’ve been scratching and clawing for runs. We’ll find a way to get it done any way we can, but we’ve been inconsistently offensively.

No, I don’t want this to feel like 2002, … I want to create new memories. This is a new team. We are doing it a new way.

I’ve watched it so many times and I’ve rerun it in my head. I just made a decision. It’s instinct. As I round third, I see that the cutoff guy has the ball, so I...
