Craig Counsell Quotations

It's too late to (drastically) change stuff, ... I just need to get that feeling back. I've tried something every day to try to make adjustments. But I feel great.

My reaction was, what's next? How are we going to make it better?

Javy did his job tonight, the bullpen did their job tonight. We couldn't get the hit with men in scoring position.

The best thing is that (Hudson) is really good at his job. Anytime you're working with someone who is good at what they do, it makes your job that much easier.

The reason why it's so great is because of the names on the list. Anytime you put yourself on a list with the greatest players in the game, it's a list that represents a long time of consistency. It's amazing.

Hopefully we realize how great a player he is. He deserves to be on that list. If we tend to take it for granted that we have a guy that's accomplished incredible things, hopefully tonight puts it in perspective.

Oh, my God. What the heck did we do?

Physically, I feel fine. I just don't feel so good at the plate. I know people try to translate that to the end of the season, but I don't think that's it at all. I feel I've made it through this season, physically, as well as any season I've played.

When you get all three of them, you better win those games. Everybody's kind of getting going now.

(Manager) Bob Melvin gave me a lot of freedom to run. He basically gave me the green light to go whenever I wanted to. Plus I played a lot more than I ever have, and hitting leadoff really helped.
