everybody games good knew looks lose sure
Everybody was sure we would do it, but I knew better. There was no way we would lose 100 games two years in a row! 63-99 looks real good right now!
almost games impossible
That was one of those games when we didn't do anything right. We can't play like that. It would be almost impossible to play like that again.
games guy help win
He's a guy that'll help us win some games.
baseball heart games
It's amazing what you can do in this game with a heart and a brain
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.
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.
games great runs scoring start win
He was great the way he got out of it that inning. He's going to win a lot of games for us. We've just got to start scoring some runs for him.
couple defensive games good mainly playing time
He'll play a couple of games at short, but mainly he'll play second. He'll get a lot of playing time there. We want to see what he can do offensively, we already know he's a good defensive player.
games knew
I knew it was over 100 games. We'd get close, but not over the hump.
clicking confidence experience games good struggle winning
This is a good experience for them. Everything isn't clicking just yet, but they'll be a part of a lot of winning games someday. They're young guys. They struggle with their confidence sometimes.
seen unusual
I've seen Elmer a lot and that's not unusual for him.
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.
ball pitch pitching talking wants winter
I still don't think that he'll pitch for us. I know he wants to but ... he's talking about pitching winter ball and we're going to talk about that, too.
months needed seen three
I've been here three months and I've seen just about everything I needed to see.
