ball baseball brings competitor everybody game knows runs takes time win
Jake's the kind of competitor who knows every time he takes the ball that he's going to win a baseball game for his team, ... When he's pitching, one or two runs could win you a baseball game. Not everybody brings that to the table.
high hit mistake pitch plate
He got a pitch out over the plate -- probably a mistake -- and I hit it on a line. Hit it high here, and it's not going to go.
earlier production talked
He made some mistakes. Like we talked earlier today, he doesn't make too many of them, and when he does, we have to try to get some production from his mistakes, and we had some big at-bats tonight.
closing slowly
We're slowly closing this thing out, but it hasn't been easy,
hill knew took
We knew what Jake was going through even before he took the hill for us,
timing toe
With my toe tap, I need the at-bats to get ready. It's a timing thing.
playing works
We're just playing better right now. When things are going well, that's how it works out, most of the time.
against good opens pressure record whoever
Whoever opens up against us, if we get there, is going to have a lot of pressure on them because our record is not going to be as good as some of the other records.
barry competition definitely feed knock
When the competition is great, you kind of feed off that. Definitely with Barry and Moises (Alou) and the professionals they have, you have to get up for them. If not, they're going to knock you around the park.
curious defense full gotten hands healthy hitter numbers season throw
We haven't gotten to see a full season from Khalil Greene. I'm curious to see what kind of numbers he would throw up if he is healthy for a full season. He's got some of the quickest hands you'll see as a hitter and on defense he has some of the softest hands.
baseball
(The sweep) was disappointing, but only because we know we can play better baseball than that.
fans hard hits home mad popular run
He's so popular that if he hits a home run and we congratulate him, fans are mad if we hit him too hard on the helmet.
confidence expects fifth hot maybe year
He started off really hot and has confidence. That's what this game's about. He has so much confidence out there, I think every fifth day he expects to win. Maybe you couldn't say that a year ago.
Hopefully, it's a day to day thing and I will be right back out there.
