We just didn't take advantage. I helped him [Reds pitcher Matt Belisle] out. I didn't make him throw good pitches. I just didn't get the job done.

I think our defence probably is a little overlooked, but pitching and defence are going to win you a lot of ballgames.

I was just trying to make sure Andruw and I weren't going to dive into each other, because I knew he was going to be pretty close, too,.. I felt like I had a pretty good bead on it. I just thought I could make up for losing that one in the lights the inning before.
thought good lights losing close pretty
I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit
good
This one is the best,.. It's September and we're coming down the stretch, where every game is magnified. Being able to do it in this situation feels pretty sweet.

They beat me up pretty good. But I feel great anyway.
good feel great beat pretty
Walking up there, I try to tell myself, 'I'm lucky to get to hit in this situation.' I expect myself to come through. I think that helps take some of the pressure off.

It's frustrating when you lose games that you should win

good job matt
[Ryan Langerhans took a phone call the other night from former minor league teammate Matt Belisle (dealt to Cincinnati in 2003), who was asking for some explanation. In some ways, the phenomenon still eludes the rookie outfielder.] I don't know,.. Early on, you try to figure out a reason for it, but I think it just breaks down to that all these young guys are good and everybody works hard and they're confident. I think that's a big thing right now, that they've had some early successes and we all feel like we can play at this level and keep this streak going.
reason good night feel play works hard guys young early call phone explanation big matt confident thing
We want to keep it going,.. We're all young and it's almost like a motivation to know we have the chance to keep this thing going for a while. There's still a lot of work to be done this year but it's a confidence thing. Sometimes when you're young like this, sometimes you don't understand the magnitude of what you're doing.
