goes knows obviously period success tough
It's been a long trip, it obviously hasn't been fruitful. Everyone goes through periods, this is a tough period for us. Everyone knows what success is and we're not having it right now.
good obviously seen
They had seen him before and that's what makes it even more impressive. They obviously had a good idea what he was going to try to do.
great obviously pitcher ran top
The big thing was Curt Schilling, he was obviously on top of his game. We ran into a great pitcher today. It's disappointing.
bad exciting happened liked obviously people time took top won
The big thing was Curt Schilling, he was obviously on top of his game. It's disappointing. A lot of people took time out of their day to be out here, and we would have liked to have won the game. It was a pretty exciting day. Only one bad thing happened today, and that's that we lost.
beckett chance gave great obviously quality ran top
Kam was outstanding. He gave us a great chance to win, but he ran into Beckett. Two big body, quality starters, and obviously Beckett was at the top of his game.
complement guy guys helps late managers obviously percentage present problems produce ways
He's a guy who has done it in the past. There's a lot of different ways to look at it, but it's what helps you produce runs. Obviously on-base percentage is something you look at, but there's a feel you get. What's the feel of the lineup? You see how guys complement each other and the problems you present other managers late in the game.
carried chance far future obviously
He's obviously got a future or he wouldn't have been drafted. We wouldn't have carried him this far if he didn't have a chance to make the team.
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.
ball carry seen time year
I've never seen the ball carry this time of year like it did tonight.
best break certainly five good
It would be a different look for sure. He's going to get a good chance. That would certainly break up the pattern. But at the same time, you're going to take your five best pitchers.
outing pitcher second sees time
The second time a young pitcher sees the same team, that's what made today's outing even more impressive. They have some idea of what you're going to do out there.
aggressive attacking guys happy outside people strike
I've been really happy with the walks. Guys have been aggressive attacking the strike zone. It's always something you want to do but you don't want to get stupid. You still want to get as many people out outside of the strike zone, too.
best guys league level major prospects
These are some of our best players, the best young prospects in our system. These are guys who will play at the Major League level and contribute.
capable
And we know he's capable of better, too,
