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.
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.
coming excited feeling good growing guys seeing stick
It's a good feeling to stick around and know you're going to be with these guys for a while. I'm excited about seeing the young guys coming up and growing with you.
good swinging swings
I told him after the first two at-bats that he was swinging as good as he did when he left. His swings were really good.
bit good hear road today
Obviously, on the road it's going to be a little bit rougher for him. I think it's good for him to come back today and hear some of the cheers.
everybody good middle sour trying wants win
We're trying to do it for us and end on a good note. It's been such a sour middle of the year. And also for our manager, Sam. Everybody wants to win for him, and we want him back.
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.
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.
