beyond depend landscape san series takes
It will depend on how things go through the weekend, not only here but what also takes place in San Diego. Once we get beyond (next week's series at Arizona), we'll see what the landscape is.
double headed
The two-out, two-run double by Saenz in the first got things headed in the right direction.
behind fall relying saw throwing
(Sunday) I did not see Oliver pitching. I saw him just throwing and relying on stuff. If you do that and you fall behind in the count, you're not going to have much success.
entire group players
It's important that this entire group of players are involved.
base hit reach time
It's important for Duffy to find a way to reach first base without getting a hit every time he's up.
cautious good push throwing work
It's a good thing to see. You want to be cautious about where they are, not push too hard, let them work at their own pace, but you like to see them out there throwing a baseball.
advance approach goes run understood worst
I told him that the worst case-scenario, if he goes the other way with the ball, was for him to get one run in and advance the other runner. He understood me perfectly. I'll take his approach to that at-bat.
affect based games last remains seen
It remains to be seen how this will affect us. Based on last night, not at all. But that's one game. We have 37 more games to be played. And it's not just the results, but how we go about it. Do we play with enthusiasm, with intensity, with passion?
call hate hell numerous seen
We've seen this be done on numerous occasions. You hate like hell if they huddled, reversed the call and it was wrong. To their credit, they got it right.
ball base gap good happen hit ourselves taking tying
We did everything we could to get ourselves back in it. We were a base hit from tying it or a ball in the gap from taking the lead. You have to have a lot of good things happen to do that.
credit played weekend win
We did everything we could do to try to win the game, but you have to give credit where credit's due: They played very well all weekend long.
ball base gap hit ourselves tying
We did everything we could do to get ourselves back in it. Once again, we were a base hit from tying it and a ball in the gap from going ahead.
capable defensive routine solid special
We're a solid defensive club. We make routine plays, and we're capable of making special plays.
club results
We're a much different club when we get results like that.
