On if he’s ever seen the kind of display Daniel Murphy has put on so far in the playoffs…
“I haven’t. I’ve watched a lot of baseball over the years. I don’t think I’ve seen anybody put on this kind of a show on this stage like he has so far. Even the guys in the dugout, they’re baseball guys too and they’re saying the same thing. Question is, ‘who is this guy.’ He’s been unbelievable. Hopefully he just keeps it up for, certainly, a few more games.”
On Yoenis Cespedes’ stolen base in the sixth inning that set up the go-ahead run…
“Yoenis got a great jump and it just shows you that there’s not a phase of this game that he can’t do. It was a big play for us.”
On the ball that got stuck in the ivy in the sixth inning and cost the Mets a run…
“I know the rule. We all know what the rule is. My argument was, my runner is halfway to third base if not three quarters of the way to third base, and I just asked him…he said that’s the rule, can’t even challenge it. I wanted to try to go to the cameras upstairs, but I knew the rule. It just sucks when it happens to you.”
On how it feels to have a 3-0 lead in the NLCS…
“Being up 3-0, we’re very, very fortunate. The Cubs, they’ve played great…and we can’t worry about it. We’ve got to come out tomorrow and Steven Matz has got to give us a game. Our bullpen is pretty rested and if Steven could get us five or six (innings), we’ve got a lot of answers in the bullpen for any matchups we need.”
On Jacob deGrom again settling in after a rough first inning…
“In the third inning, I said ‘if we get five out of this guy, we’ll be lucky.’ And then all of a sudden in the fourth and fifth inning, he started making pitches. So it was a very similar outing that he had in Los Angeles. He didn’t have very good stuff early. His command has been off. I don’t know if it’s fatigue this time of year. Again, he’s pitched more than he ever has in his whole life. So that could be the answer.”
