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.
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.
last remember time
I can't even remember the last time we got swept.
depend everybody forget ourselves pick shell time whatever
We've come through a lot, ... Whatever we do, this is for this team. It's time to forget about everybody else. We need to put ourselves in a little shell and look at each other and depend on each other and pick each other up. That's pretty much what it's all about.
easy everybody forget time
It's easy to let this one go. We've been through a lot. It's time to forget about everybody else and look forward.
came glad held home lead milton sat time
It came and went really quick. I'm just glad we held on to the lead or else (the home runs) would have been for naught..... I didn't even see Frank's swing. And by the time I sat down, Milton went deep.
along bad coming doubt everybody good jerks minded obviously open opposite since situations time written
He's funny, he's completely opposite of everything that's been written about him. Obviously there have been some unfortunate situations with him, but coming into it I think everybody was open minded and there was no doubt in anybody's mind that he was going to have a good time here and he was going to get along with the guys. Since I've been here, there haven't been any jerks or bad personalities.
batting gloves helmet milton sat time
I didn't even see Frank's swing. By the time I put down my helmet and my batting gloves and sat down, Milton went deep.
failed felt home house money playing run
We felt like we were playing with house money when they failed to run home on that ball.
blood brain guys house playing rest smelled
We got lucky. They had a brain cramp. The rest of the game, we were playing with house money. ... I think the guys smelled blood in the water.
brain game house playing rest
We got lucky. They had a brain cramp, and the rest of the game we were playing with house money.
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.
bad runners
I've been pretty bad getting runners in from third,
dictate ellis good hitting locked pitching scoring week
Ellis is locked in. A week ago, we couldn't find a hit, and now we're back to being comfortable about scoring runs. As good as our pitching is... our hitting will really dictate how we do.
