boys heart impressive knew looking needed picked rest terrific
What was impressive is Jake knew what we were looking for, he knew the boys needed a rest down there in the bullpen, he just went out there and pitched his heart out, that's just a terrific effort, he really picked us up there.
effort gave great job needed nice
What a nice job he did, ... He gave us a great effort there. It was an outstanding ballgame. We needed it, because we didn't do a lot of scoring, either.
mean took
When you first come up, you don't know what you're getting into. He thought he took too many pitches. This time, he's getting his swings. That doesn't mean he's out of control, just that he's being aggressive.
attacking focus instead looks loses men success tends
When you haven't had a lot of success up here, it comes down to confidence. He didn't have the same look he did this spring. It just looks like he loses his focus out there, especially with men on base. When things aren't going well, it looks like he tends to back off, instead of attacking the hitters.
deal injury mike
When you had the kind of injury Mike had, he's going to have flashbacks and you're going to have to deal with things.
believe four games three
When you do it three out of four games, you really believe it,
credit easy giving seems
We've got to come out of this. It seems like we're giving (opposing pitchers) credit a lot lately. We can't get down. There is no easy answer.
credit giving guy threw throw
We've got to come out of this and we will. Their guy did throw well. I know we're giving credit a lot lately, but he threw well.
ball great opportunity starter
We had a great opportunity there, and (Cardinals starter Mark) Mulder, he got out of it, ... We're just not cashing in at this point. The double-play ball killed us.
couple guys
We have a couple of guys down now,
difference
We said he would make a difference and that has been the case.
balls good hit league major needs playing
We thought it would be good for him to get some playing time. He hit some balls hard, that were right at guys, but he's a little rusty. He's a Major League player. I like his swing. His legs, his health, he's doing much better there. He just needs some at-bats.
gets hoping tomorrow
We're hoping tomorrow that when (Cameron) gets up, he'll feel fine. There is considerable concern.
cautious feels
We've been cautious with him. If he feels anything, we're going to back him off.
