behind best deal handle knows stuff woody younger
The thing about Woody is, he can handle it. He'll deal with it better than a younger guy. He knows he'll go out without his best stuff occasionally and put it behind him.
admired game leader mike played plays
I've always admired how Mike has played the game. He's always played it hard. He's always been a leader out there. He plays the game right.
against increase playing recent struggling time
I wanted to increase his playing time against right-handers and he started struggling a little there against right-handers (in recent games). That's why we're going back to the way we were.
hit missing run triple
Sometimes you're better off missing a sign. You hit a triple and get another run in.
ball bounce hits versus
Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way. The infield hits (four versus Estes), there's not much you can do about that.
crushed gave huge trying
Sometimes it's better off not executing, I guess. Johnson, I mean, he crushed that ball. That's huge at that point. It gave us a comfortable lead, because we were trying to let them back in.
eye good ryan
Ryan has a good eye and a good on-base percentage.
coming good knocked rusty
Ryno's come off a pretty good week. He knocked in some runs. I don't want to let him get rusty after coming off a pretty good week.
bat sean
At that point, Sean was our left-handed bat off the bench,
age-and-aging basis catch demanding regular takes toll wear
At this age, I can't wear him into the ground. It's just too demanding a position. When you catch as much as he has over the years, it takes a toll on you. He can't do the things on a regular basis that he used to.
heck honest hope sure team
To be honest with you, I sure hope so. They have a heck of a team over there.
ball means meeting played type
We're disappointed we haven't played better ball on this trip. It was by no means a kind of sense-of-urgency type of meeting or anything.
consistent streak together winning
We're disappointed we haven't been more consistent and put together a winning streak here.
case comfort depth gives insurance knows nice
There's going to be a little more sense of comfort with him now. He knows this club, he knows the city, so it's nice to have him on the bench. He gives us depth and insurance in case something happens.
