accelerate couple few good left next personal weeks
There?s a few I?m going to have to learn, but we still have two weeks left so that?s the good part. It?s important for me these next couple of weeks, just on a personal level. I need to play. I need to get at bats. I need to accelerate my play. I need to see pitchers. There?s a lot to be done.
ability brought clubhouse communication excellent friend good great job josh pitchers taking ton
I think his personality in the clubhouse and his ability to communicate with the pitchers will be good. That's not taking anything away from Josh. Josh brought a ton of communication with the pitchers and he did an excellent job with that, communicating back and forth. I know Dougie really well. He's a very good friend a great teammate.
definitely good maybe saw start step today
I thought it was a very, very good outing. Maybe I saw something different than he felt. But I thought it was definitely a very good start for Curt. Today for me was definitely a step up. We just didn't get it done offensively.
good knows people prepare prepared question
Manny's a good teammate. Different people have different things going on. He knows how to prepare himself. If he's not prepared and he's not able to do things, then you can question him.
bounce good ready
We have to come out and bounce back and be ready to play tomorrow, period. We're right there, we're right in it, that's a good thing.
gave good second win
It was big. We gave away the first one and got pounded in the second one, so it was good to get out with a win today.
goes good handled knowledge public telling
What I think and what goes on is not public knowledge. Good or bad, it's handled in here. That's all I can really tell you without telling you too much.
good known second signs
They're known for relaying signs at second (base). They always have been and they're good at it.
aware beat bullpen contain create execute extra good starting
They do a lot of little things. We have to execute well to beat them. They have a good bullpen and good starting pitching. They can create things offensively. They'll take the extra base. If we're all aware of our surroundings and what's going on, we can contain it.
ball fastball good location threw
Keith threw the ball really well, also. He threw some really good changeups. And his location of his fastball was pretty good.
carry contribute dogs good people
I think that's what makes this lineup good is that different people contribute on different nights. We're going to have our times where our big dogs are going to carry us. But when different people can contribute, that's when we're going to be our best.
good guy job team time tough trying
He's done such a good job trying to make the organization better and the team better at the big-league level. It's going to be very tough to see a guy like him go, especially at a time like this.
good matter throw
He had good stuff. It was a matter of just honing it in to where he wanted to throw it.
game good kept plain run settled stuff swings takes taking time
He just kept us in the game, plain and simple. They were taking good swings early, but not as good of swings later. He settled into his game real good. His stuff was electric, there's no question. I'll take one run every time someone takes the ball.
