cautious hoping starters
We're hoping our starters give us more innings. All indications are they will. We want to be cautious with our bullpen.
pitch walk
Walk A-Rod? And pitch to Giambi? How about that one?
baseball heart games
It's amazing what you can do in this game with a heart and a brain
quite throwing woody
Woody wasn't throwing at him. But, quite frankly, Doug did what he had to do to keep things from escalating.
care few personal rather sooner taking
We have no idea when he's going to be back. Hopefully, it will be sooner rather than later. He's taking care of a few things, and I can't really say any more than that. It's a personal matter.
We have some depth. It just makes it that much more competitive. There are a lot of openings.
battle home messed run score struggling uphill
I thought we were going to get out of the first with just one run. Payton's home run was big. That really messed up the day for us. Then when we're down 7-0 that's really an uphill battle for us. We're struggling to score one or two runs.

A lot of it depends on where Mike is at. We've got to get Mike in our lineup every day. That's important to us -- even if he doesn't get any hits, just from a credibility standpoint, it adds so much.
mind negative record run start support thoughts
A lot of negative thoughts go through your mind when you start off like he did, without getting any run support and your record isn't what you want it to be,
broke struggling
They had been struggling a little bit. They just broke out.
elaborate field giving hard throw win
That's not very good. It's hard to elaborate on that, other than to say it's hard to win doing that for a lot of different reasons. You're in the field a long time, you're giving them opportunities. You know going in that they make you throw strikes.
