ride
This probably is a little different, something new, ... I'll ride it as long as I can.
frustrated hoping taken team
We need him happy. He's the team leader. I'm hoping he was frustrated or it was taken out of context.
april ball traveling
The ball was traveling well tonight. Usually in April it doesn't go anywhere. But 75 degrees, the ball was jumping.
good needed reason
It's something that probably needed to be done. It's illegal, and it's good we put it in there. There's no reason not to have it in there.
easy hit looking pitch recognize
It's an easy pitch to hit if you're looking for it or recognize it.
hard stretch
It's hard not to think here we go again. It's been that kind of stretch for us.
doubling guy hurting public ten
Doubling it is good. I think 10 is a little light. Ten you can get away with as a team. You can do without a guy for 10 days, but 20, you're kind of hurting your ballclub, too. Not just your own public scrutiny, but you're hurting your ballclub to win.
everybody fine normal seemed self worried
Everybody was worried after the stroke, but he seemed fine and was his normal self.
clutch double game guy hit mess mind pitches second strikes thrown throws uses
First time, yes. Second time, no. He uses that too much, in the back of your mind you know he has that, it's one of those pitches you know you can double clutch and still hit it. If he hasn't thrown it all game and he has two strikes on a guy and he throws it up there, it's going to mess a guy up.

alone exciting fun games hope love row win winning
It's exciting to win two games in a row like that, let alone one in a month. I love this. I hope we do it every night. It's a lot more fun than winning 10-0.
easy mistakes people plays shut
This isn't a shut case. It's not easy to do something like that, I know. Yeah, he's made some mistakes, but a lot of people have. We're just going to have to see how it plays out.
explode good happened last nights picked win
This is one of the nights that we picked up our pitcher. There is going to be other nights where we're going to win 2-1 (and) they're going to have to pick us up. It was a good night to explode after what happened last night.
