baseball finish game opportunity
That was his game to determine. It was his baseball game at that point. You have to give him the opportunity to finish it.

That was as good an at-bat as we've seen taken all year.
city hit tremendous
That will be a tremendous hit for Murfreesboro City Schools.
particular picked situation
That was a part of the reason. There was one situation in particular that Kent picked up on. For competitive reasons, I'm not going to say what it was.
ask few given past performance terrific
That was another terrific performance by Derek Lowe . You can't ask any more than what he has given us the past few starts.
leg plan responds time until
That's the plan right now. But until we see how the leg responds in game-type situations, there is nothing that is completely certain. But there has to be a plan. And for the time being, that is the plan.
ball base easy home player third versatile
He can go get a ball and make it look easy and effortless. I want to see how versatile a player he is, but he will have a home at third base for some time.

He pitched like an ace today -- and he had the demeanor of one. I saw a guy who was extremely interested in wanting to be the ace of the staff.

He pitched exceptionally well. He had a terrific day.
further himself knows locked seen
I don't think he's completely locked in. I've seen him further along. But he's been through this before. He knows how to get himself ready.
address attractive becomes concerned gets spend time
I don't think any of us should spend a whole lot of time being concerned with that. The way it gets better and becomes much more attractive to look at is to address (problem areas).
careful hitting hurt people start
I don't think Curt Schilling was out there to hurt people. Period. When you start hitting people in the head, you need to be very careful with that.
believer fact gets hitters league looks major people stuff
I am a big believer in the fact that stuff gets people out, not what looks cosmetically correct. Stuff is what gets major league hitters out.
clear definitely expect favorable guys interested jumping perfectly point
I don't want to have those guys out there feel like you're completely jumping the gun. I want to also make it perfectly clear that we are definitely interested in results. And we're going to get to the point where we expect to see very favorable results.
