borderline couple good last
We're doing something pretty special. We've been good the last couple years. But this is borderline spectacular.
coaching early enjoy playing refreshing relax score shut sit teams tight
A lot of teams do score early and kind of shut it down. It was just a refreshing day for everybody, I think, especially the coaching staff. We've been playing some tight ballgames and they've been able to sit back and relax and enjoy this one.

defense great hitting last solid
They're going to be a lot like us last year. They're not going to keep hitting like that, but they don't have to. They have solid defense and great pitching, just like they always do.
chances hopefully hurt looking pitch pitches popping reason redeem starting tomorrow whatever
That was a big at-bat, it really hurt us. I was looking for a pitch to drive. For whatever reason I've been popping up a lot of pitches this year. Hopefully starting tomorrow I'll get some more chances to redeem myself.
That's fine, all I need is about 45 to 50 at-bats and I'll be OK.
baseball bats stretch
There's a lot more baseball to be played. Things like this usually come around. I think there's another stretch in our bats we can put together.
fastball game hard pitch pitcher pitches strike successful throw zone
As hard as he throws, I think he's got to throw his fastball in the strike zone more. Then he can pitch off his fastball. Every successful pitcher in this game pitches off the fastball.
bats dictate good hitting last pitching swing swinging
As good as our pitching has been, you can tell when we swing the bats well, they are comfortable. When we're not swinging the bats, they are not too comfortable on the mound. Hitting will really dictate how well we do the last month.
blowing favorite guys
I think without a doubt, those guys are the favorite to win. And I'm not blowing smoke, because there's something to be said for guys that have done it before.
dictate feeling gonna next scoring
I think we're back into feeling comfortable about scoring runs. I think hitting's really gonna dictate how well we do next month.
best good lack offense single trade
I think it's the single best trade we've ever made -- just because of the lack of offense (this year). With Jermaine, our offense was already good and he bettered the offense.
handled impressive performance seen stuff wall worried
I think the way his stuff was and how he handled the hitters, that was the most impressive performance I've seen here. He wasn't worried about the lineup, the (left field) wall or anything like that.
dictate hitting next week
Just a week ago, we couldn't find a hit. Hitting is really going to dictate how well we do the next month.
