ahead break dissect distance elevate everybody far good months numbers opportunity pack scheme spell themselves three time
I think by far and away he was way ahead of the pack at the time he went down. But the numbers he has now, they still spell out pretty good in the big scheme of things if you want to dissect numbers and break them down. Everybody else had an opportunity of three months to really put some distance between themselves and him and elevate themselves, but it didn't happen.
everybody faced pitching
We haven't faced much left-handed pitching (since Sept. 20), and I want to try and keep everybody sharp.
everybody guy hit mound swings today took
Their guy was really good. It wasn't anything else. Everybody that took the mound today was really good. They pitched well, hit their spots. We took our swings and didn't come up with anything.
everybody game gave needed sunny
Everybody thought it was a stab and something unique. Sunny showed us a little something today, and in a game we needed some length, BK gave it to us.
everybody mound today took
Everybody that took the mound today was really good.
beauty chance everybody finally took
We tweaked the lineup a little and everybody who got a chance jumped in and took advantage. We finally got out of that hitters' graveyard, Coors Field. That's the beauty of this game. You don't know what to expect.
everybody game hard played
A big game for Sullivan, and a big game for us. Everybody contributed. We played really hard and got a lot of things done.
answered aware everybody finding questions
Offensively, he is finding his niche. I think he is well aware there is probably more there. Most of the questions everybody had about him going in should be answered by now. They have for me.
everybody statement tonight took
These are opportunities for growth. Everybody made a statement tonight that took the ball.
battling bulk easy game improve lead pieces quality seeing spend until year
We've always wanted to improve our bullpen, but until this year we weren't able to get the pieces we wanted. It's been frustrating. . . . It's not easy to spend the bulk of the game battling for a lead and then seeing it get away. . . . Now we have some depth. We have some quality arms.
conscious gets major pull time trying work
We're going to give him a little more time to work his way out of it. He's an important part of the lineup without Todd. . . . He's not trying to pull everything. He's conscious of going to the right side. When he gets hot, he can do major damage.
baseball definitely good kim playing trials
We can definitely get used to (having Kim around), because while he's had his trials and tribulations in other areas, he's playing good baseball for us.
bit handle proved
We bit off a little more than we could chew. But they proved they could handle it.
arm bit continues healthy liked might seeing strength
We're just seeing how healthy he is. He is still working his way back arm-strength wise. There might be a little bit more arm there as he continues to pitch. We've always liked him.
