biggest facing five guy mainly pitching runs tough
We just weren't able to do anything mainly because he was pitching so well. The biggest part of the day was the five runs early. When you're facing a guy like that, it's a tough situation.
came far home production runs thanks
Then we came back, thanks to the home runs. We usually don't get that kind of production as far as home runs go.
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.
anyway decided guy instructed move runs smarter throw
In that situation, with a basestealer on first and a guy that runs on third, with his move he was instructed not to throw to first. But he decided to anyway because he's smarter than I am.
seen unusual
I've seen Elmer a lot and that's not unusual for him.
flow game guy

Five in a row, ... The problem with that is you see it better.

We lived on the edge tonight. We were lucky to be in a position to win the game. We had one big inning but couldn't get the job done.
both figure free game league looked send threw trying whether
Both of them looked like they threw free and easy. Now we're trying to figure out what we're going to do with Bautista -- whether we're going to send him to the Instructional League or whether we're going to have another simulated game for him before the Instructional League.
