It's not easy to play a guy in the field after he's just pitched. There's a time for arm recovery too that you have to be cognizant of.

While we're playing the analytical game, I want us also to play the Angels game. And for all these guys, who you are as a human being matters.

What's going on in the game today... it's data vs. art - that's what it comes down to for me. Art being the human heartbeat, data being numbers, the math, etc. I believe there's a balance to be struck right there.

Once you get the hang of how all this works, it's no biggie. It's baseball, man. It's baseball.

There is no Game 7 without winning Game 6. And there is no Game 8 if you don't win Game 7. That's why you do what you have to do.

There's nothing wrong with having a good party. So if you have an opportunity to have a good party, go out and have one.
