flow game guy
It was the other extreme, but a guy like Santana can do that to you. He can make things look real lethargic. The game just didn't have a flow to it.
He's still working on his command, as are all the pitchers.
baseball fun good
He's just a good baseball player. He's fun to be around.
adds balls care people pitches understand
I don't really care a lot about errors. It is the range, the balls you should get to. If you don't, it adds pitches to the pitcher's pitch count. It adds runners. It is so disruptive. A lot of people don't understand that.
happened
I don't know how many times we've done that. It has happened a lot.
chance disabled good
I don't know how Costa is. I know there's a really good chance that Costa is probably going to go on the disabled list.
extra handle player position
I don't know how we'll handle that. I don't know if we'll take an extra position player or keep it at 12.
serious three
I don't know how serious it is. Hopefully, it is not the kind that will keep him out two or three weeks. We have to be careful.
anybody hitting less runners score seemed sixth third
Before that (the sixth inning), we had a lot of opportunities. We just couldn't get anything across. Actually we couldn't get anybody to third with less than two outs. It seemed like we were always hitting with runners on first and second. To score runs, you have to get opportunities with runners on third and less than two outs. We haven't been able to do that much.
Hopefully, it is no more than a week.
saturday sunday swings took
He took swings Saturday or Sunday and he didn't do too good.
ball breaking fastball good threw velocity
He threw the ball well. He had good velocity on his fastball and a good breaking ball. He was impressive.
felt good middle threw
He threw good but, in the middle of the game, I don't think he felt real comfortable.
He said it was a deke, so we're going with that,
