found glad scary serious sign
I'm just glad that we found this before anything serious could have happened. This is a scary thing to think about. Sometimes with the heart, there's no sign that something is going on.
admired game guy hard impact mike plays signing
This guy is an impact player. I think this was a big signing for us. I've always admired how Mike plays the game. He plays the game hard and he plays it right.
sign took
He wanted me to sign it, ... He took it over to me.
fill good kevin quite sign system veteran
It does give Kevin (Towers) a lot more flexibility. These aren't long-term deals, but they're good players. When you sign veteran players, (it means) you don't have someone in your system who's able to fill that void. Some of the catchers we think a lot of aren't quite ready.
certainly involved league likes obviously passion signed team transition tried york
I think Mike's got something to prove. Obviously in New York they tried to make him do the transition to first. He could've signed with an American League team and been a (designated hitter). It certainly would've been a lot easier. But he likes to be involved with the game, he likes catching. He has a passion for it.
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.
belong biggest carry change plate swagger walk
The biggest thing is to have a swagger when you take the field. When you're not going well, you have to change something -- the biggest thing is the way you carry yourself. You have to walk like you belong with the best, go up to the plate like you know you belong with the best. That's swagger.
biggest series
The biggest thing in this series was the big inning killed us.
biggest factor josh man ready season start whether
The biggest factor is going to be whether we think Josh is ready to start the season here. But Josh does look like a man on a mission.
finish finished game great talk win winning
It was great to win this division, but we really wanted to finish with a winning season, ... I know there's going to be a lot of talk about it, but there would have been more talk if we'd have finished at .500. This was a big game for us, to finish on this note.
adam found great job pitchers stretch thrown top
These pitchers have just thrown outstanding, ... It's great to see Adam on top of his game. That's the Adam Eaton we know. What a great job he did. All of them, down the stretch here, they just found their game. It's going to be important in this series. We know we need to pitch well.
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.
behind caught few help insurance job last nice night quite
The need here is to get some help there behind the plate, ... Nevin did a nice job last night but he hasn't caught in quite a few years, so we need to get some insurance there.
attached below certainly stigma
It's not an all-important thing to us. But we certainly didn't want to go into the postseason with below a .500 record. We didn't want that stigma attached to us.
