example good
This was a pretty good example of it.
pitching solid
We got a solid pitching performance. Unfortunately, we got two hits.
base couple games hit home ourselves position runs score sustain tried via
Through the first two games of this series, all of our runs have come via the home run ball. We were not able to, when we tried to get something going, sustain it offensively to put ourselves in a position where a base hit or a gapper could score a couple of runs for us.
dominated
We got pitched to death. He dominated the game.
ask craig wilson
Very well deserved. What else would you ask Craig Wilson to do?
best effort given
You feel like you've done the best you can do. The effort they've given me every day is noteworthy.
both choices days decision few great guys hope next passed position problem summarize
To summarize for you, both guys passed (Saturday). It doesn't make any decision over the next few days any easier. But that's what you hope for. When you're in a position where you have to make choices like this, they're not easy. It's a great problem to have.
gets job time
Every time he comes up in a situational at-bat, the job gets done.
base believe buffer clubhouse good guy happen needs office people team third
Every team needs people like that. It's not just what he does as a third base coach, and I happen to be believe he's very good at what he does. Having this guy as a buffer between my office and the clubhouse ... that's huge.
bit deal larger players problems
As the players get older, the problems become a little bit larger that you have to periodically deal with.
parts rather seeing
We need to get him back to where he is completely functional, rather than seeing parts of him here and there.
catch needs speed
We need to speed him up with his at-bats. He needs to catch up a little bit. But we can get him to 45 or 50 at-bats very easily.
believe chance player terrific
You better believe he's having a terrific spring. He has a chance to be a real player at the major-league level.
lack needed played run timely
You can nitpick all you want, but one run isn't going to get it done. We played hard. There was no lack of effort. We needed a timely hit. We weren't able to get it done.
