bad runners
I've been pretty bad getting runners in from third,
against guys hitting mediocre pressure team throw
I've said it before. This team is going to go how the hitting goes. It's too much pressure for these guys to throw shutouts every game. We need to be consistent, especially against a mediocre pitcher.
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.
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.
good players stuff
There's too many good players over there for that stuff to happen,
It's not important at all. It's really insignificant.
angels playing secret team west wild win
It's no secret that they're really good. To be honest, I don't think we'll win the wild card. I think they'll win the wild card. I like that team and the way they're playing right now. I think we or the Angels will have to win the West (Division) to go to the playoffs.
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.
early score shut teams
A lot of teams do score early and kind of shut it down,
finished guys lone team
There's something to be said for that. We've never done it. Those guys have finished it out before. This team hasn't. For that lone reason, those guys, to me, are the favorite. But do I like our chances? Yes, I do.
doubt games left mind plenty ready rhythm time took
There's no doubt in my mind he'll be ready to go. It took me some time to get back into the rhythm of things and I know there's plenty of games left for him to get going.
felt five runs six
There's not one of us who felt we shouldn't have put five or six runs on the board,
excited great tournament watching
The tournament is a great idea. Even if I don't end up playing, I'm excited about watching it on TV.
burden four game honor pitch playing starting teams three time vacation weeks year
I started scoreboard-watching three or four weeks ago; that's when you know things are starting to get interesting. It's not a burden to be playing for the playoffs. This is the time of the year when every game counts, every pitch counts. It's an honor to be able to play for something when other teams are making vacation plans.
