confidence hit last patch rough season shake
The rough patch he hit at the end of last season would shake anybody's confidence a little, but it's nothing that can't be repaired.
broken changes dreams feelings game given guys hearts human iq last normal seen series wins year
We had our hearts broken last year, and this year we've seen our off-season dreams of a World Series erode and go away, ... It's normal human feelings to be disappointed. In this game your IQ changes with wins and losses, and right now we're not real smart. But the guys are competing. We haven't given up.
grand happy last slam
I was happy with the outing, as I was with his last one. We had opportunities to make the grand slam not matter.
finish last played quite
We just couldn't get those last two outs. We played good, we just couldn't quite finish it.
easy free last looked night ready talked throws
We talked last night when he got in and he said he was ready to go. He looked free and easy out there today. He still throws hard.
believe confident feather happening last remember year
It should be a feather in his cap. What I remember about him last year was the look in his face. It wasn't like he was overmatched. It was more about, 'I can't believe this is happening to me. I know I'm better than this.' He's a confident young man.
gone last self wrong
A lot of things have gone wrong in the last year, ... Some of it we've self-created.
best bit found game innings last
(Young) teetered a bit in the first, then found his step. He got better as the game went on. His best innings were his last two.
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.
figure last medical reports season
Last season he had a lot of swelling, but there isn't any of that this time. We're going to have to see the medical reports and then figure out where we go from there.
experience grown last
Going in, that may be the thought. But we want to see, with the experience he had last year, how he's grown from that.
breaking goes last throw
If that goes well, we're probably going to take the wraps off and let him throw the breaking ball, which is the last step.
best held last
He held his stuff. His last two outings he had had his best fastball.
everybody good last sleep tonight unlike
He had a good night's sleep last night, unlike everybody else. He made a lot of friends tonight with teammates, getting them on and off the field.
