expect game guys people played supposed teams type
I think the teams we have had here have been Brockton kind of teams, hard-working blue-collar type guys who play the game the way it's supposed to be played and how the people here expect you to play.
best expect field head sounds tomorrow worse
I didn't expect to play today, and it sounds even worse for tomorrow (today), so we'll see what happens. You never know with the weather. We wanted to play if we could and we were able to. (Campanelli head groundskeeper) Tommy Hassett is the best groundskeeper I've ever been around and we've got the best field I've seen, and that allows us to play after all that rain.
aggressive early hitters talking
We're just not being aggressive enough early in the ballgame. I'm talking hitters and pitchers, and that has to change.
bullpen gets worry
Our bullpen doesn't worry about who gets a save. They just come out and do the job.
bullpen good hoping night pitching rest shape tomorrow
I think we're in good shape for the rest of this series, pitching-wise. I'm hoping I won't even have to use the bullpen tomorrow night (tonight) with (Grant) Dorn and Can (Oil Can Boyd) pitching for us.
anyone plays roles
Julien plays his roles well. He probably plays up to his capabilities, day in and day out, as well as anyone I've ever had.
became facility fell following love meeting people
People here fell in love with the ballpark, and the facility became a meeting place first, and then they started following the ballclub as they got to know some of the players,
best bullpen chance good joey letting seven six starters took
We have a good bullpen when our starters can go six or seven innings. I feel we have the best bullpen in the league. We took a chance letting (reliever) Joey Cole go, but right now, I feel it was a good decision.
job oil runs super
It won't happen, because nothing comes that easy. Oil Can did a super job in the first game, but we couldn't get any runs for him. That is the way it has been through out the season. 'Can' should be 10-2, not 4-4.
accepted came people reason saw visited
Essentially, we came in here as a new business, and people accepted us, and one reason is because we visited the schools, visited the hospitals, went to openings, all of those things. We were out in the community, people saw us and accepted us as part of the community.
decide oil ready start until wait warm whether
At first, they wanted to wait until we were ready to start to decide whether to play, but I didn't want to have Oil Can (Boyd) warm up, and then not play the game,
blow breeze coming fog gonna gotten meant storm stuff
It wasn't like there was gonna be a breeze that would blow that fog away. That stuff wasn't going anywhere. And if we had gotten a breeze, that probably would have meant another storm coming in, and that wouldn't have been good, either.
certainly decision
It's a decision that certainly could have backfired, and still might.
city earth hard money people work
This is a blue-collar city with people who work hard for their money and are really down to earth,
