bullpen full good guys hands next possibilities
Correia and (Brad) Hennessey were guys who were always up and down, bullpen back to starting. Now we have our hands full with good possibilities for next year. Correia won't have to go back to the bullpen.
counting good kid next september
(It's) very good to see him come back into form. This is not a September performance. This kid can really pitch. We are counting on him next year.
couple happens next
We'll see what happens in the next couple of days.
care expect five itself next transition waiting
There's a transition going on while we were waiting for the five regulars. That's why it's happening, but I expect it to take care of itself in the next 2-3 days.
guys last next older year
I said last year that our guys would be a year older. Well, they'll be another year older next season. And we have all those day games.
certainly everyday glad good happen last next package season
He certainly has the package to be an everyday guy, we think. I don't know what will happen with Ray. I'm glad he's here. He had a pretty good season last year. I don't know what will happen next year.
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.
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.
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.
days effect games playing pushing
We were pushing him to get off to a start. He was fresh. Now the effect of playing all those games showed up two days ago.
seen
I've seen it happen. You think you're going to get better, and you get worse.
looks physically pitch seems seen stronger throwing
I've seen him pitch a lot. He looks stronger physically from what I've seen and seems to be throwing harder. He's (looking) a lot better.
watching worse
It would've been worse if I was watching the game, but I didn't see any of it.
changed deal dealing easy man since
It was very hard, but it was easy because when you deal with a man like that, everything is easy. I've been dealing with him since he was 22. He hasn't changed as a person.
