conversation couple exciting next topic
It's pretty exciting not to have this to be a topic of conversation the next couple of years.
certainly position produces strong top
That's what you want to see at the top of the lineup. Plus, the position is changing, especially in the American League, to one that produces runs. He certainly is a strong candidate.
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.
best solid starting top
(Rogers) has had another solid year. He's going to end up in the top 10 in ERA. He has been our best starting pitcher.
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,
besides both edison juan options struggled
Edison and Juan both struggled today. We've got some other options besides those guys.
