Clint Hurdle Involved Quotations

This is a big pick-me-up. Some guys showed up big-time. We just kept hanging around after an early lead got away. Obviously it was a pretty explosive ninth inning, and some guys that needed to get involved got involved. It's a good confidence-builder all around the house for us.

You're a lot more involved in the coaching side. But it comes to a point where you have to let them play, you have to let them grow.
