came good hung took
He came out of it and I think after that (pitch), he hung in there and took some good swings.
We can do the same thing. We're just not doing it.
cyclical kept nice roll winning
We've been very cyclical with our hitting. That's what has kept us from getting on a roll and a nice winning streak.
four starters
We're probably going to need only four starters for the playoffs.
pounding strike zone
When he's good, he's pounding the strike zone and picking.
handled playing showing themselves
What I like is the way they've handled themselves and the way they're playing the game. They're showing a lot of maturity.
bounce close experience goes guys hand looking playing previous productive swagger year
Swagger goes hand in hand with playing well. We have a lot of experience here. We're not looking for these guys to bounce back and have MVP years, but to be productive and have a year close to the previous year.
borderline close
It has to be close to a borderline miracle.
advantage bad ball clay excited kept mixed rotation taking victim
Clay was outstanding. He kept the ball down, mixed his pitches. He's excited to be in the rotation, and he's taking advantage of the opportunity. He was the victim of a little bad luck, but he's in the rotation to stay.
cameron cautious cleared good
Cameron has been cleared to go so we are not going to be cautious with him. He is good to go.
board control help natural time wins year
But wins this time of year are important. We don't have to look at the scoreboard. You can't help yourself because the board is so big, and it's a natural thing to look, but we control our future.
ball behind care good hitter job nice normally press seeing selective
It's natural, I don't care how long you're in the game, to press a little. He's not being as selective as he normally is; he's not seeing the ball too well right now. He's too good a hitter -- he'll come out of it. He's doing a nice job behind the plate.
good nice start trip
It's nice to start this trip like this. We had some good at-bats to get the walks.
bothering movement neck
It's really bothering him. He doesn't have the movement in his neck some days.
