I think Chris got his second wind after we put the five-spot up there,
good hitting might needs period stumble tearing time
I think he's hitting right where he needs to hit right now. He's going through a good period now. He might stumble a little bit. There'll be a time when he's not hitting well and Wilkerson is tearing it up. We've got to keep that in mind.
assume capable lofty matching ready
I think he's ready to assume that mantle. I think he's capable of matching up with the other guys. That's a pretty lofty area, but he's one of those guys.

We just couldn't get those last two outs. We played good, we just couldn't quite finish it.

You don't do what he has done over a long period of time and not have some mental toughness.

You'll miss their presence. Maybe we should get a life-size picture of them and put it in front of their locker.

You like having a guy like Coco around him. I'm sure he will have a lot of questions along the way. Coco is not going to point him toward any shortcuts.
edison hope progress
We hope that one day Edison makes the progress that Cabrera has made.

We hope he can help us in the big leagues. It's very unconventional, but if you describe all the attributes that successful knuckleballers have up here, R.A. would fit into that. He's a strike-thrower, competitive, no-ego and he's willing to do what it takes.
among bullpen certain creates deeper everybody helps knows mentality save starters
It creates a certain mentality among the other starters to go deeper into games. It makes your bullpen so much better. Everybody knows their roles. It helps save the bullpen.

I thought Josh, Eddie and Thomas handled their first outing well. It was fun to watch.
ballpark change command half inner john outer plate plays speeds
John was outstanding. We all know how our ballpark plays for left-handers if they can command the inner half of the plate and change speeds on the outer half.
help justin pitching
Justin will be in our bullpen. He's been pitching well and I told him that he's up here because we think he can help us.

I'm happy for Brad, he has been beating himself up.
