early fine five guys pitchers spring start
Early in spring training, I am fine with it because I need some guys to have at-bats, too. But once pitchers start going five innings, I want my pitchers to hit.
accustomed ahead aware base fully schedule shape spring start sure touched training
I've touched base with him just to make sure he is ahead of schedule at this point. He's fully aware of how important it is for him to be in a little better shape to start out spring training than what he's probably accustomed to.
anytime concerned game losing nice spring win winning
It's only spring training, but no question, anytime you win a game like that it's important. We're not as concerned with winning and losing in the spring, but that was a nice comeback.
aggressive good handled knowing pressure puts similar spring stay stayed
That puts a little pressure on you, knowing you probably need a good spring to stay here. He handled it very well. He didn't back off. He was aggressive from the get-go and stayed that way. It was something similar to Khalil Greene.
excellent final hard hit spring until
We're getting hit pretty hard right now, especially with the way spring was going. We were in excellent shape, right until the final days.
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.
