against guys mean nobody save time tough
That was a tough save right there, ... I mean -- nobody is going to go 1-2-3 all the time against guys like that.
against obvious
I think it's pretty obvious that he's comfortable against him.
against record today track
I've done it a little bit, ... but I still look at Shelton being the first baseman. ... I'm not going to pinch-hit for Shelton, and I would pinch-hit for Pena. Today I'm probably not going to because he's at first. But really, that's more the thinking. Carlos' track record against left-handers has not been as good.
against eyes hit opened playing though
Even though he hasn't hit that well against left-handers, we want to get him some playing time. He's opened some eyes -- what he's done hasn't been ordinary.
again cut low percentage run score winning
Back to one run again -- that's not going to cut it. Score one run and there's a low percentage of winning ballgames.
against debut month
First impressions, I like (Liriano) kind of like (Seattle's) Felix Hernandez, who made his debut against us a month or so ago.
against good luck seen short struggle tough
In his short career, he's pitched well against us, ... I know he's 5-16. I know he's had some tough luck and all, but I think he's going to be a good one. This year's been a struggle for him, but from what I've seen of him, he can pitch.
coming good player since swinging
What a big hit. He's been a different player since coming back from the minors. The way he's been swinging the bat, you're going to get good production.
bounce broke couple games last losing rough row win
We broke out. It's been a while, hasn't it? To win the series, win the last two games in a row after a losing streak, after a rough couple of weeks. We usually bounce back every time. We'll see.
decision
We're going to have to make a decision on Carlos,
certainly decision easy few might opened sure weeks
We're going to have to, ... I'm sure he'll be a topic. We're not over yet, so he might make that decision easy one way or another. But he's certainly opened some eyes. This has not been ordinary. It's been very good. Right now, he's a force. I'd certainly like to give him some credit, but is a few weeks enough? No.
hitting
We're just not hitting right now. It isn't that we aren't trying.
bothers guys losing magic message sit
We're just not getting it done. I'm not getting the message across. This really bothers me. I know I'm responsible, but guys have got to do it. It's inexcusable to be going through this losing streak. Losing doesn't sit well with me. It shouldn't sit well with anybody. We have to keep working. I know no other way. There's no magic potion.
good might
When you think you might see him, you don't, then there he is. It was good to see him.
