believe care expect guys happy lower park pitch runs wherever
I don't care what park you pitch in, I expect you to get guys out. I think if you lower your expectations, you'll have guys happy to give up some runs sometimes. I just believe in wherever you're pitching, you go out there and try not give up a run. If you give up a run, you try not give up two.
careless couple errors giving guys help pitching routine throwing tried
There have been a couple of errors where guys have tried to do too much. We've had some errors that are just careless throwing errors. We can not make careless errors. You're going to have enough errors without just giving away bases. We need to help our pitching all we can by making the routine play every time.
ballgame confidence five gave guys hits swing winning
I think winning that ballgame with only five hits gave the guys confidence to go out and swing the bats.
count early good guys looked missing pitches sure thinking
He looked like he had pretty good movement. I don't know if they were sliders or cutters away from right-handed hitters. I'm sure when we're making outs early in the count like that, our guys are thinking they're getting good pitches to hit, and they were just missing them.
guys
A lot of times in this league, guys get the day off and they end up contributing big,
balls encouraged help signed since sure talked
I'm sure everyone that's talked to him since the day he signed has encouraged him to do that more often. It's going to help him get some balls through the infield.
accurate gone management poor second unless
It was poor management on my part. I should've gone out after the second one and said, 'Don't try it unless you can make a strong, accurate throw.' I should've told him before the game.
ballgame hits homer huge time
We got some big hits from Dunn and Griffey. Griff's big three-run homer was huge for us at the time of the ballgame ... I like the way we played.
chance deserve eric gave great job lose milton win
Eric Milton just did a great job for us, gave us a chance to win the ballgame. He didn't deserve to lose that game.
anybody both good hitter sides
Felipe is going to hit. You won't see anybody up there red-hot all the time. He's a very good hitter from both sides of the plate.
good hit needed
We had some chances, and we had some pretty good at-bats, but we had nothing to show for it. We just didn't get a big hit when we needed it.
hudson might seen since tim
I've seen Tim Hudson since '99 and I thought Holby might need another day. If Ramirez had been pitching, he would have been in there.
healthy slow sure
Right now, we'll just really go slow with him, make sure he's healthy and don't overuse him.
catch
No one in the world I thought would catch that ball.
