He gives the team a chance to refuel, to get back to playing the way we played early in the season, ... Everybody knows how important this kid is for us, for the type of game we play.

It's just tight. I don't want to take the chance of losing him for a few weeks instead of a few days.

He kept the game close and gave us the chance to win.

I just had a meeting and I told everybody I feel proud of my team. I feel proud because they went out and did everything they could do to win this game. We had a chance to win it even with the guys all over the place out of position. I could not be more pleased the way my team reacted.

All year we play pretty good baseball. Cleveland has played outstanding. We can't control that. Now, we have a chance to control that.

Obviously, we're disappointed. We had a chance to play better (but) we didn't do what we did all year long.

If this kid stays healthy, he has a chance to hit a lot more homers, especially in this park. In the summer, this park gets smaller.
