ball caught felt saw
I saw our right fielder felt like he caught the ball and so did our infielders.
fun gary good guys
Our guys had a lot of fun tonight. I thought we got good at-bats and Gary (Matthews) had a big one for us.
case face fluid free good knows likes people since smile
Padilla has been very fluid with his motion, free and easy. He's had a pretty good face since he's been here. He knows some people in the organization and he likes the place and the weather. He has had a smile on his face, which is not always the case with him.
dealt focus move people time
It is something that we've dealt with and I think he's dealt with it real well, all things considered, and it's time to move on and get the focus back on getting people out.
beyond caution certainly chris feels gone line
I think we've gone over and beyond the line of caution on our part. I think Chris certainly feels that way.
everybody good guys last lost people showing
I think what he's doing is showing everybody what (the A's) lost last year, ... It's always good to see good professional people like (Ellis) come back. We need guys like him.
finish last played quite
We just couldn't get those last two outs. We played good, we just couldn't quite finish it.
mental period time
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.
along guy point questions sure toward
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.
attributes describe fit help hope successful willing
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.
good reason
You always want to get off to a good start. This would be just another reason to want that.
talking wore yesterday
Yesterday wore him out. I think the thing that wore him out was talking to so many people.
