ball continue games hit matter work
There are so many games left, we just have to continue to work hard. We haven't hit the ball well all year. It's only a matter of time.
fit perfect
He would be just the perfect fit for that job.
easy few fine hitters pick pitches start strikes throwing
He was throwing strikes with his off-speed pitches. That is fine the first few times through the order. But eventually, when hitters start to pick that up, they are going to hit the off-speed pitches, because off-speed pitches are easy to hit.
eighth good ninth seventh strength
We've always had good (closers) in the ninth inning. But the seventh and eighth has been a real strength for us this year.
billy chance knew realistic signed since won year
We've won every year since I've been here, but now I think we have a realistic chance to do some big things. When I signed here, I knew Billy would do what it would take to win.
burden mockery months playing september teams vacation
We were made a mockery of in the first two months and here we are in September still playing for something. We've come through a lot. It's not a burden to be playing for the playoffs. There are a lot of teams making vacation plans.
happen might
We were here all night, and it might happen again.
eighth hopefully ninth performance played poor won year
You can go back in the year and look at the seventh, eighth and ninth inning; we played well enough to win. We should have won those ballgames. ... Hopefully (the poor performance of the relievers) will be addressed this offseason.
bats confidence hopefully runs score six swinging tomorrow
We haven't been swinging the bats lately. Hopefully we can score five, six runs tomorrow and get our confidence back.
conquer couple everybody expects game mental suggested
(Perry) suggested a couple of things. For me the game is mental. I have to conquer the mental part of the game. Once I do that, I'll be where everybody expects me to be.
fighting miracle obviously
We still have a fighting chance. It's going to be disappointing if we don't win. Obviously this is a miracle we have to go for, but anything can happen.
bay tampa
(Washington) would be just as hands-on, especially if he got the Tampa Bay job,
borderline couple good last
We're doing something pretty special. We've been good the last couple years. But this is borderline spectacular.
confident eye
He's raking. He's got that confident look in his eye again.
