clubhouse full guys
Is Oliver Perez important to us? And Kip Wells? Sure, they are. But we've got a whole clubhouse full of guys that are important to us.
club duke fine gave opportunity quality start
Duke did a fine job. It was a quality start and he gave an opportunity for the club to win. I don't know how much more you can ask.
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.
club division fighting playing question september win
There's no question about it. This is not the same club that we were playing a September ago when we were fighting to win a division championship. It's not even close.
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.
accepts benches clubhouse flight great guys knows players role top willingly
He's a clubhouse leader, great for young players to be around, knows how to play the game, accepts his role willingly and does it as well as any of the other top flight guys that come off benches and play, that you can think of. What's there not to like about this guy?
blue club good pick sit talk thus until
I could sit here and talk about those things until I'm blue in the face, but those are things if you're going to become a good club you have to pick up on and capitalize. Thus far, we've not been able to do that.
club disruption far felt focus good loss players slate strongly wipe work
I would be remiss if I said there were not philosophical differences as far as the club and how we put it together, what would work and not work. The disruption and focus loss with players is not good for anyone. That's where I felt strongly that it was important to wipe the slate clean.
club results
We're a much different club when we get results like that.
against calling catch club fifth mistake obviously
You can't make a mistake against that club like we did in the fifth inning. I don't know who was calling (for the ball), but obviously you need to catch that ball.
clubs face good overcome point time
At some point in time you always face a little adversity. The good clubs overcome things like this.
against ball basically breaking club last pitch tough until
I thought he battled. He didn't have his breaking ball until his last two innings. That's a tough club to pitch against with basically just your fastball.
believe catch clubhouse components pitch seen
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.
club easiest five
I give the club a lot of credit. It hasn't been the easiest thing in the world for this club in our first five games.
