baseball expected far fare ourselves playing win worried
We expected to win this division, we said it from day one, and we want to go far in the playoffs. We're worried about ourselves playing better baseball because if we don't, we're not going to fare too well in the post-season.
biggest doubt team victory win
It would have been devastating, really. For us to find a way to come up with a team victory ... it's the biggest win of our year, no doubt about it.
ahead far win
But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, we need to win one game.
buy couple extra love realize win
Obviously, I realize how important it is. I want to be out there. But it's still there. Hopefully, it will be better tomorrow. I'd love to have us win and buy me a couple of extra days.
baseball best looking people sacrifice whatever willing winning
On the field, I don't think anyone's looking for people to be best friends off the field. When it comes to winning baseball games, you have to have 25 people willing to sacrifice and do whatever it takes.
baseball expect game giants knew scoreboard staff takes watch win won
This was a very big game for us. We don't want to scoreboard watch too much, but we knew the Giants had won (in Washington). Jake is our staff ace, and he is our stopper. When he takes the mound, we expect to win baseball games.
baseball brought bunch change dynamic easy field guys happy leaders proven whether winning
It's easy to say you want a bunch of young guys. But no one's going to be happy whether you're young or old if you're not winning baseball games. The guys they brought in here are proven winners. They're leaders on the field and in the clubhouse. I think that's really important when you change the dynamic so much.
ninth until wait win
You don't always want to wait until the ninth inning to win games, but we haven't had that. That propels us, to know we can win at any time. You don't want to go into the postseason scuffling.
dramatic fashion game win
When you win a game in dramatic fashion, it kind of re-energizes you,
difference division expect good people satisfied team winning
A real difference is, there were no expectations before, and now there are. People aren't just satisfied with their team winning a division championship. They expect the Padres and Chargers to do more. Personally, I think that's a good thing.
four last situation straight task three tougher win year
Last year I think the situation we were in was a lot tougher task than the situation we're in right now, because we were down to three outs, and had to win four straight games,
games goal good guarantee record regardless single team win wins year
Regardless of what our record is, the goal is to make the playoffs. If you win 100 games and you don't get to the postseason, what good is it? I guarantee you every single team that wins more games than us this year would like to be in our position.
finished game match par stood win
He was all-square stood on the 18th, then finished with a par to win his game and halve the match overall.
