mean took
When you first come up, you don't know what you're getting into. He thought he took too many pitches. This time, he's getting his swings. That doesn't mean he's out of control, just that he's being aggressive.
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.
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.
came good hung took
He came out of it and I think after that (pitch), he hung in there and took some good swings.
earned himself played took win
He's played very well, and to be honest, he's flat-out earned this. He took it upon himself to win this job, and that's what he's done.
sign took
He wanted me to sign it, ... He took it over to me.
advantage ball bat breaking difference hanging looks took
He looks the same. I don't see any difference in his bat speed. He got a hanging breaking ball and took advantage of it.
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.
attacking focus instead looks loses men success tends
When you haven't had a lot of success up here, it comes down to confidence. He didn't have the same look he did this spring. It just looks like he loses his focus out there, especially with men on base. When things aren't going well, it looks like he tends to back off, instead of attacking the hitters.
deal injury mike
When you had the kind of injury Mike had, he's going to have flashbacks and you're going to have to deal with things.
believe four games three
When you do it three out of four games, you really believe it,
credit easy giving seems
We've got to come out of this. It seems like we're giving (opposing pitchers) credit a lot lately. We can't get down. There is no easy answer.
credit giving guy threw throw
We've got to come out of this and we will. Their guy did throw well. I know we're giving credit a lot lately, but he threw well.
difference
We said he would make a difference and that has been the case.
