fighting fights-and-fighting guy
That's not enough for a guy who's scrambling, fighting for a job.
dugout seen shut talking
You should have seen Hansen and Zack talking in the dugout today, ... They never shut up.
five games hits struggled win
You're not going to win a lot of games when you get five hits and one run. Offensively, we've just struggled more than you'd like to see.
benefit command far giving guys maintain needed pitch
There were some things we needed him to do as far as his conditioning. We needed him to maintain his stuff, which he has. But his command has not been good. We're kind of giving him the benefit of the doubt. A lot of times, big-league guys go to Triple-A and don't pitch that well. We need him to give us a lift. He's a big-league guy.
coming depending few guess guys players year
Depending on what year it is, with the young players we have coming up in the organization, I would guess there's going to be a few of our guys in that game.
bullpen deciding good sure
Denny has never pitched out of the bullpen. We weren't sure what we were going to get out of the bullpen from Denny. We have a pretty good idea of what we're going to get from Woody. That probably was the deciding factor.
bad courage game good kid literally picked threw
This is getting really old. We literally did some bad things -- getting picked off, doubled off. The kid pitched a good game, but he threw to the same place the whole game and we didn't make adjustments. You've got to have the courage to make adjustments, to live with a plan. It is frustrating.
everywhere faced game games guys handled newspapers played proud team themselves toughest tv worst
This game was so crazy. It's probably one of the worst games we played in the whole streak. I told the guys after the game that they handled one of the toughest times ever in baseball. A young team faced TV and newspapers and everywhere they read they were scrutinized. I'm proud of them. It was tough, but the guys handled themselves with class.
far names
The names are going to be the same, but as far the order, I'm not sure.
good strikes swinging throw time
They're swinging the bats. We didn't throw strikes when we had to and they make you pay. So, yeah, this is a good time to get out of here.
bat chip continued regardless swinging
I thought Chip continued to play well, regardless of where he's at in the outfield, and he's swinging the bat good.
eye move public stupidity
I think when you're in the public eye you unfortunately have to get that kind of stupidity. But that's the way it is. You just live with it and move on.
changes chemistry course developed good spring
I think we're all very optimistic. Because of the changes we made over the winter, because of the chemistry we developed through the course of spring training, I think we all feel pretty good about where we're at right now.
chance gets gives great innings
I thought Scotty battled pretty well today. I don't think he had his great stuff, but he kind of does what he always does -- he gets through innings and gives us a chance to win.
