both catch games guys situations
Both guys are going to catch in situations and games that make the most sense for them and the club.
days games sunday though tomorrow
We have two more days and we have to look at it as though tomorrow and Sunday are games that we have to win.
games rehab seeing surprised unfair
I'd be very surprised if he participates between now and the season's end. First, there's the health, and second, with 20 games left, there's no place to rehab with live pitching. It would be unfair to put him into the lineup without seeing live pitching.
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.
bit changed closer due fact games guys regular spring staying supposed tone training
With our cut-down (Tuesday), we are getting closer and closer to what some things are supposed to look like. The tone of the games now in spring training has changed a little bit due to the fact that some of the regular guys are staying around a little bit longer.
certainly four game games gets interested pitch sitting
When the first pitch of the game gets thrown, we've got four games to try to win. I'm certainly interested in doing that now that I am sitting in this office.
fair few games record share suggest
We've had a few like this. The record may suggest differently, but when you look at the games we've played, we've had our fair share of games like this.
chances five games played proud win
We've played five games and we've had chances to win all five. I'm proud of the club. We did everything we could to get back in it tonight.
ballpark games hits six three win
First and foremost, you aren't going to win many games in this or any ballpark with one run. We get six hits from three people, and that won't make it at any park.
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?
center chris defensive eight games
We know what kind of defensive center fielder Chris Duffy is. To get him going offensively, it's not going to do us a lot of good, eight games in, to keep going back and forth.
change course games landscape next obviously sitting
We still have some games to play in 2005. The landscape could obviously change one day to the next over the course of the winter. I really don't feel like sitting here and expounding on what I think it's going to look like.
bad bat cost fat feeling games involved league luxury major mistake pitches regardless stages
You make bad pitches to Major League hitters, they put the fat part of the bat on the ball. When you are involved in games like that, regardless of what stages it's at, you don't have the luxury of making a mistake and not feeling like it's going to cost you. It is.
games hits majority obviously
Those hits in games like this are obviously huge. We did very little offensively for the majority of the night.
