baseball expect feeling gets good hit knew time
We knew he was going to hit one. We knew he was going to hit more than one. We expect him to hit one every time he comes to the plate, and that's a good feeling even if he doesn't do anything. The anticipation gets everyone on their toes. What we need to do now is get him into good baseball shape, which he is not in now.
difference feeling
There's a feeling of urgency, because we know the difference that he could make for us.
feeling good trainer
The trainer had a pretty good feeling this (wasn't) 1999.
confidence feeling five help itself might morale rally small start win wish
That rally and win itself might help morale and the feeling here of defeat. It's one win. I wish it had been five games. Hey, things start small like that -- who knows? There will be more confidence tomorrow.
barry feeling good guy knew knowing
To see Barry here, knowing he's going to go back to the same guy ... you never knew if he was going to ever play again. It's a good feeling for the guys.
guys
In Montreal, we let the young guys pitch,
announcing games saved
I'm not announcing anything, but Timmy saved 38 games for us in 2003.
guys hoping
I know there were a lot of guys that were hoping that this guy wouldn't play.
brian somebody
I know we're going to get somebody else. Brian is a real go-getting guy.
maybe retired roger twice
I know Roger Clemens has retired twice already. Maybe that's the way it's going to be.
bit happy liked
I liked what I saw, and I'm happy what he did. He was a little bit wild.
barry forward heard looking nice
I'm looking forward to him being here tomorrow. It was nice to see not-quite-everyone out there. I don't know why Barry isn't here. I heard 'personal matters' like everyone else.
check days foot home sore trainer
It's still sore and I can even see a little favoring it at home plate. He's hurting. The trainer (Stan Conte) recommends rest, and after those days off they'll check his foot again.
barry perfect pinch three
It's so early. We need him to get his at-bats. If we can get him two or three at-bats, it's better than one as a pinch hitter. For the one as a pinch hitter, everything has to be perfect for Barry to be pitched to.
