Raul Ibanez Game Quotations

Part of our game is being patient. You work the count, a lot of things can happen.

I think it's very important very important. We feel pressure a little bit with having to win some games, because we feel we are a better team than what we've been showing.

Later on in the game our at-bats get better, and I don't know if it's a mental thing. I don't know.

I was just thinking about that to myself a minute ago. It seems like, later on in the game, we start squaring balls up a little bit more. We do a better job of hitting late in the game. The secret would be to be able to do that all game long. And we haven't been able to do that. I can't put my finger on it. I really wish I could.

We needed that. That was a big game for us. With the way things have been going, the way tonight had gone, we had to have it. We had to scratch and claw, but we got it.
