On cold weather…
“The pitchers are a little stiffer. You saw two guys last night that pitched under tough conditions. The wind was blowing as hard as it was, and you saw some balls hit last night, a couple took off, a couple the wind grabbed. So, yeah, cold weather changes the game. But that’s October baseball and everybody knows it. So I think as long as we’ve got all the paraphernalia to stay warm, as warm as you can possibly be. But both teams got to play in it, so I don’t think it makes a big difference.”
On using Jeurys Familia for more than two innings…
“Well, you know, he’s been a starting pitcher in the past, so I know he has the ability to go multiple innings. You look at the job he did last year, he was a multiple inning guy. He’s big, he’s strong. We have, again, I really believe our pitching coaches have done an unbelievable job of making sure that hey, look, if they need days, we give them days. So we looked down the stretch, his workload wasn’t huge down the last ten days of the season, so I think he’s rested, and I think he’s able to do it.”
On Daniel Murphy recalling minute details of games…
“Oh, that’s Murph. I will tell you, the first time I met Dan Murphy I was the field coordinator here and he got his knee torn up in the last game of Spring Training, and I didn’t know him. I would go through, on our travels I’d go to St. Lucie to see our teams down there, and Dan Murphy’s at the Rookie League game in the morning and the St. Lucie game at night. And all he talks about is baseball, so I’m not shocked that Dan Murphy is aware of every single pitch that happens during the game.”
