field home left ready run
We just want to get him ready on defense. To see him play left field now was more important than the home run he hit.
bases believe capable great guy hide hitting home judged left question reach runs since speed steal talent
This guy is only being judged by the home runs now. Right now, he's only capable of hitting home runs. He doesn't steal the bases anymore. He's not the (superb) left fielder anymore. He doesn't have the speed anymore. I believe that when we reach back, we are going to hide all that talent that started when he was a kid. Because there's no question about it, this guy's been great since he was a kid.
fact last left pitcher strong year
He was a strong pitcher when he left the game. That wasn't a fact last year at this time. It was a very encouraging outing.
believe lefty mentality nasty next pitch
I believe he'll pitch very well for us next summer. There are similarities with Eyre -- that same lefty mentality with a nasty slider.
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.
ball charged coming guy hard lose signed throwing time
We're going to take our time with him. It's really hard to lose Noah, a young guy who was really coming up big. He just signed a long-term contract. He was really charged up and throwing the ball well.
We have no scheduled day off for him tomorrow.
acquired capable control pitching team walk
We have no control on what's going to happen. He could be acquired by another team or he could just walk away from us. That would be a setback for us, because we know he is capable of pitching well, and he could end up doing it for someone else.
depended open
The possibility was open for him to be here during the game. It all depended on something he had to do.
five games losing loss months spent
We spent five months losing series. That's what has us five games back - not the loss tonight.
feet last opening question start wet
With time, we look to him to be a No. 1-type guy. If he's healthy, there's no question he's in the rotation. He won't be overwhelmed by an opening day start at home. That's why it was important for him to get his feet wet last year.
game hit intensity leadership life
Wow, he was good. The leadership there on the hill, the intensity ... we didn't hit much, but there was a lot of life in this game because of him.
games good guy relationship saving tyler walker
We know he's out there, We have a guy ( Tyler Walker ) now saving games who has a good relationship with the fans.
