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.
healthy slow sure
Right now, we'll just really go slow with him, make sure he's healthy and don't overuse him.
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.
field nobody sure thankful threw
I just wanted to make sure the field was playable and I'm just thankful everyone got threw it with nobody getting hurt,
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.
deserve good innings win wrong
We did so many things wrong that we didn't deserve to win that game. I don't even know how we were in it. But you're going to have innings like that. They've got some good hitters.
chance crooked win
We haven't been able to put up a crooked number. If we put up a crooked number, or have a big inning there, we have a chance to win the ballgame.
later ready sounds
It sounds like, hopefully, later in the week, he'll be ready to go, ... He's day to day. We'll just have to see how he is every day.
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.
couple everybody field gone hard last seen walk wants worked
Everybody around here who's seen how hard he worked and how much he wants to play and what he's gone through the last couple of years, you don't want to see him walk off the field like we did.
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.
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.
