bonds closer playing talking team
Closer to our ?A' team will be playing tomorrow. You're talking about Bonds and (Steve) Finley and (Mark) Sweeney.
delivery good left
His delivery left him for one or two pitches, but he regained it right away. That's a good sign.
address bad delivery either good hitter left pitch today
His delivery kind of left him for one pitch or two, but then he got it back. That's a good sign. With him, he's either good or bad, and today he was able to address his problem. Before, if he got a bad hitter or two, things got out of hand.
good knee last legs seen swinging
His legs look OK. He is swinging with a good base. Last year, I didn't see that very often. I haven't seen any favoring of the knee in two days.
anybody seen ted williams
His hand-eye coordination, I have not seen anybody but Ted Williams that was like that.
glad serious
But he is serious about it, and I'm glad he is. He's ready.
bad bit full
It's not a big deal. It's not his bad knee. He'll be OK. ... It will just take him a little bit to get back to full strength.
break nice
It's nice to win. You get a break here or there, that's how you break out.
anytime diego games guys intensity knew next opportunity pressure san stop team
Anytime you stop a team here with your bullpen, it's a big win. We want to get to San Diego (four games next week) with an opportunity to put some pressure on the Padres. We knew some guys were tired, but the intensity was there.
along four runs three trouble
That's always been the thing about him. He'd go along fine, and then he'd get into trouble and give up three or four runs and not get out of it.
great
That's a great play. I never made a play like that myself in all the years I played.
shape
I'll take the swing. The shape is really not that important.
depend knee legs maybe
I'll take anything over 100. Maybe 120 games, but it's going to depend on how his knee and his legs will feel.
