early free hitter might randy
There have been times we haven't used Randy Keisler because he's our long guy. This might free up Keisler for a hitter or two early in 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.
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.
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.
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.
job milton
Milton did an outstanding job for us. We had the one big inning when we capitalized on their wildness.
catch
No one in the world I thought would catch that ball.
austin depends maybe might pitchers rich
Maybe Austin Kearns, Rich Aurilia, I don't know, maybe Felipe Lopez, too, might get some rest. Depends on what pitchers we face, too.
good
Yes, it was (a good run). In the eighth, I thought we were going to win.
baseball bay everybody good knows outfield playing seattle tampa top
I think everybody in baseball knows he's a good player. Playing in Tampa Bay like he did and then going to Seattle ... when you play in the same outfield with Ichiro (Suzuki), you're not going to be top dog, that's for sure.
crucial nobody talks
LaRue's play is one that nobody talks about. That was the big play in a crucial part of the game.
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.
against chance facing hitter three
Holbert is a little better hitter than Olmedo against left-handers, ... And this was a chance to give Holbert a start. We're facing three left-handers in a row, so probably we'll play both.
