I know Daniel Murphy is a really good hitter. He's definitely pulling the ball right now for power, although he did go left-central the other night against the Dodgers, I believe.

You have to be able to play through the tough moments by doing something offensively, and we haven't been able to do that.

You have to anticipate a call's not going to go your way. It happens to everybody. It happens to both sides every night, so you can't necessarily go there mentally. You've just got to keep moving through the moment.

Never permit the pressure to exceed the pleasure.

You rarely think about just throwing to third base to get one out. That's probably the industry's fault with all of that.

I'm big on feel, and I think it can help a relief pitcher gain feel before he goes into the game.

Our prep's not going to be any different. It will be optional batting practice like there was today. I don't want any more work. I don't want extra study.
