seen unusual
I've seen Elmer a lot and that's not unusual for him.
months needed seen three
I've been here three months and I've seen just about everything I needed to see.
against best chances early good quite seen throw
We had a lot of chances early against a good pitcher, but we just couldn't get anything done. That is the best I have seen (Jose) Contreras throw in quite a while.
coached game hope league seen unheard
It just didn't make any sense to me. I've never played, managed or coached a game like that. To see a big league game like that is unheard of. I've never seen anything like that. I hope I don't see it again.
dugout seen shut talking
You should have seen Hansen and Zack talking in the dugout today, ... They never shut up.
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.
five problem
Five in a row, ... The problem with that is you see it better.
maybe might pitch thinking
Right now, we're thinking he might pitch one, maybe two more times,
quite
Quite honestly, I think that is a long shot.
fun guys hit opposed sit watch
Offensively, it was fun to just sit back and watch our guys hit as opposed to scratching out every run.
edge job lived lucky position win
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.
arm dropped great individual keeps last position slot talked tough year
The thing I look at most is the individual pitchers. And I thought Bautista's arm slot was in a great position. It's something we've talked about earlier. Last year his arm slot dropped a little bit, but his arm is in great position right now, and if he keeps it that way, it's going to be tough to keep him out of the rotation.
