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.
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.
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 obvious
I think it's pretty obvious that he's comfortable against him.
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.
discuss few honest quite sure
I'm sure we'll discuss quite a few things, to be honest with you.
guy light sure
In light of how things are going, this guy is too valuable. We want to make sure that he's OK. Hopefully, it's just one start.
good middle pitches
I know some of them were good hitting, but I'd say there have been way too many pitches in the middle of the plate.
days five liked
I liked what I saw, ... We're going to see him five days from now.
guys initially latter normally
I'm reserving judgment, but normally I like to put (young) guys initially at the latter part (of the lineup), a kind of coattail,
hold smoked
That first inning was really a big inning. Dmitri smoked it. We couldn't hold 'em after that.
That first inning could have been something to get you going, ... But then it was, 'Ah! Here we go again.'
year
This is kind of the way our year has been,
