ask good guys hoping run took tying winning
We had our guys up there in the eighth, and you can't ask for more than that. What you're hoping for there is to get the tying or winning run on, and we did both, but they got a very big out. Randa took a pretty good swing, but just got it up in the air.
hit missing run triple
Sometimes you're better off missing a sign. You hit a triple and get another run in.
awesome bigger comeback home run
We couldn't have had a bigger home run than we got from Greenie. And then Ramon. That was just as awesome a comeback as I've seen.
game gets hard played run tough until
It's a different game if that gets through. It was hard not getting a run there. That's a tough one because we played very well until the eighth.
appreciate catcher everybody fame game gives great guy hall knows lifetime power run smart talking though watch
We're talking about a guy who's going into the Hall of Fame. He's got great presence, and what he's accomplished in the game is pretty remarkable, especially being a catcher. It's amazing, everybody knows about his power but this guy is a lifetime .300 hitter. He's a smart hitter, and what you appreciate when you watch Mike, even though he's a catcher and can't run like (Mike) Cameron, he's full-bore all the time. I mean, he gives you everything on the field.
ball base hurt looking runs threw
Any runs you give up hurt you, but we got the ball we're looking for at first base and couldn't get them out at home. Pedro threw great. Give him credit.
anytime battling character eight heart runs shows winning
I think anytime you're down eight runs and you end up getting the winning run at the plate, I think that shows a lot of character and heart of the club. They were battling to the end.
easily luck run won
Jake easily could have won 18 or so with better luck and run support.
add failure runs talked
The failure to add on runs after a big first inning has been a problem. We've talked about it. We have to come out if it.
case create gave home run top
Once he gave up the home run, we really didn't create any opportunities there. He was on top of his game. Sometimes you run into a well-pitched game, and I think that was the case more than anything tonight.
confidence good offense runs score tonight
This is a good lineup, and it's going to score some runs. I don't know who would have scored runs tonight (off Webb). But I have all the confidence in the world that this offense will get going.
ball granted took
took for granted that the ball went out and he tossed it into the stands. He thought it was out. That's why he did what he did.
balls batting bullpen gives practice sure track
We just wanted to make sure we get our bullpen back in order. It gives him (Cameron) a day to track down balls and take batting practice and he's going to go tomorrow.
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.
