"We are starting to understand the importance of each pitch with the mindset of attacking one pitch at a time. We will stay on the attack tomorrow during training as we prepare to play our best baseball down the stretch. Tomorrow will be the biggest day of the season. Why? Because it's the current day. Let's embrace the opportunity to get better."
