approach granted greatest hitters hopefully mean past pitches quality swinging treat
We're going to approach him the way we always have and just take for granted that he's going to be swinging the way he usually swings. I mean this guy's one of the greatest hitters of all time, so we're not going to treat him any differently. We'll try to approach him the same way we have in the past and that's to make quality pitches and hopefully not make a mistake.
approach greatest hitters pitches playing quality
We're going to approach him like we always have, as if he's been playing all season. This guy's one of the greatest hitters of all time. You want to make quality pitches and not make mistakes.
bounce expected forget great people woody year
People forget that Woody pitched well down the stretch. We expected him to bounce back this year. He's in great shape. This will be a better year for him.
great saved stick
Breslow did a great job. He saved us. Once Oxspring couldn't go, we had to stick with him.
greater guys
There's not a greater feeling. This team's been pushed. These guys responded. It's been a bumpy road, but I couldn't be prouder.
base depth free great prospect third
We don't have a lot of depth at third base in the system. That's like having a prospect there, but we got him as a sixth-year free agent. That's a great find.
great neck needed park
We needed someone to do what (Park) did. Really, I thought Chan Ho Park bowed his neck and made some great pitches.
feats greatest rookies sports
You know what, that's one of the greatest feats in all of sports, ... You know what, it's not that easy. Especially with all of those rookies they've played.
anybody great stepped thrown
Petey has stepped in and thrown as well as anybody in our rotation. That's a great acquisition for us.
behind comfort given great helped pitching staff stepped team
The pitching staff has a sense of comfort with him. He has stepped in and done a great job. He has helped stabilize this team behind the plate, and given us some offense, too.
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.
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.
good great helping job stop
Eaton did just a great job of helping us stop this little skid that we've been in. No getting around it, that's a good one to get, the way things have been going.
action good great ground hard looks sinking throw took
It's hard to throw much better than that, ... He made it look easy. He had great command, good sinking action and was getting ground balls. He made adjustments, and it looks like he took it out there.
