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.

best course decision interest involved next overly prudent several
There are things that play in to that that I am not going to get overly involved in at this time. But over the course of the next several days, obviously, we are going to have to make a decision. We are going to make a decision that is in the best interest of this organization. That's the decision that we have to make. That's the prudent thing to do.

Pitch the ball, catch it and put it into play, you're going to have to show me that it doesn't work, because I've seen it work. We have the components in this clubhouse to make it work, I really believe that.
baseball care catch chances defense either fairly game good level managing name people philosophy pitching playing since
Pitching and defense has been the name of the game in baseball forever. I don't care what level you're playing at. My philosophy since I started managing has been that, before you can look at any other phases, you've got to feel fairly comfortable that you've got some people who can pitch and you've got to be able to catch the ball. If you can't do either one, your chances of being very good are slim.
chance five opinion people special spent
(Playing the Dodgers) is kind of special. It was five years that I spent there. In my opinion they were five very special years. There were a lot of very special things we accomplished there. There were things that some people thought we were never going to have a chance to do, but we did.

bench continue guys
I will use all 13 bench guys - I have and will continue to do so.
clubs guy hopefully looking opportunity similar somewhat stuff type
I won't say where they are going to start. But he is the type of guy we are looking for to hopefully place in between two left-handers that have somewhat similar stuff and not give opposing clubs an opportunity to see the same type of stuff on consecutive days.
