David Eckstein Guys Quotations

Getting guys on base in front of the big guys, that's the key to this club.

That could come down to a 1-0 game with those guys on the mound. So it was very key for us to go out there and get some runs early.

Those guys are stepping up big when we lose key guys. They have stepped in and done unbelievable jobs.

Because if he's up we've got at least two guys on and we have a chance.

The thing you don't do is come to a new team and force yourself on people. We walk in here as a bunch of guys but over time we're going to develop into a team. It's going to be interesting to see how it ends up playing out.

You play this game to get a ring, and anything less, it's very dissatisfying (not to get one) once you've tasted it. Our club's hungry because a lot of guys haven't gotten the ring. You can see that in the last three games we played (all victories).

How big has Hector Luna been the last week? ... And Johnny ... we're getting guys good opportunities in good games. We're going to need them (in the postseason). Just by doing what they've done has helped the whole club.

We have a couple of guys capable of hitting a lot of home runs that haven't yet.
