What has impressed him the most in this series:
'It's not just the quality of the at bat, but the fact that they're so patient. We got down early, they just stayed with it and didn't try to do too much. ' Miguel settled down and got us some innings which we needed bad.'
Miguel Batista, who threw 5.1 innings and allowed 4 runs:
'I think as the game went on he got into a better rhythm. ' I think he started to use all his pitches after the second inning. He started to use his change up a little bit and his slider a little bit more effectively. He made better pitches for sure. Those first two innings, I saw the replays on the scoreboard and those breaking balls were right in the middle of the plate.'
The errors and other frustrations with the game:
'That's what young players can do to you. They're playing with all their heart. They're playing as hard as they can. They're going to make some mistakes. It just comes with the territory. They're learning still how to play, especially up here. Not to take chances, to refine their game a little bit. It takes time to learn that stuff.'
David Wright, who was caught in a rundown, which scored a run:
'We were in a great spot. We had speed on both sides, which really put them in a tough spot when you're running in that defensive station. Even though when they decided to go to third, Nieuwenhuis was going to be safe. Fortunately, the ball bounced away, but it was a great job by David to get in the rundown to make the play happen.'
Andres Torres, who went 2 for 5:
'Hopefully he stays healthy, because he's showing us exactly what we got him for. He swung the bat well from both sides. That catch he made on Wiggington, he went a long way to get that ball. He can really play centerfield, great speed. The one thing that I've been impressed with is his at bats.'
