“The thing that impressed me most was that twice we were down to our last three outs, and twice we came back with two runs to tie the game. It was a great team effort.”
Andy Harmon
“He went 2-0 twice, but got outs. It's just good to get back to him.”
Tony La Russa
“Normally, three runs is enough, especially in this league. We can't give any team extra outs like we did in that fourth inning.”
Jonathan Moore
“That's because the last three outs of the game are the hardest. You manage a game to get to your closer. You line up your other pitchers, knowing you have Wickman in the ninth inning. By the time I bring in my closer, I'm pretty much done managing. That's my last pitching move. The game is in his hands, and he has to get those last three outs.”
Eric Wedge
“We need to knock them in the mouth and get some three-and-outs,”
Torry Holt
“I told them when we went out in the field in the top of the sixth to get three outs and win it in the bottom half.”
Matt Mason
“Even if he has a pair of aces there, I still have nine outs twice (two chances to catch one of the nine remaining hearts) to beat him. The king on the turn kills me.”
