eric gives goes good
Eric gives us a little more speed, and with the way Hanley goes to right field, it can be a pretty good combination.
experience goes guys hold hopefully late onto realizing start stay time victories
As time goes on, guys are going to start realizing that we can stay in games. Hopefully that will transpire into getting more and more experience with it so that late in games, we can hold onto those victories that we should win.
continues credit days difficult gary goes happy josh mean strides
I think Josh has made a lot of strides in the 10 days, 12 days we've been here. If he continues to progress, it's going to be a very, very difficult decision. I'm really happy with that. But that doesn't mean he doesn't keep working. I'm happy with the progress. A lot of that credit goes to Gary Tuck.
compliment goes hit hitters huge learn pitch stop walking younger
It's a huge compliment to him. As he goes on, he will learn how to hit in those situations. When some of our younger hitters get better, they will stop walking Miguel so much and have to pitch to him a little.
ask business goes joe respect silly
I respect Joe and the way he goes about his business and handles his players. To me, it's silly if you don't ask for help.
attitude goes great meek pitchers
He has an attitude when he goes out there, and that's what you want from a pitcher. When you think of all the great pitchers that have come before his time, they all have got an attitude. Some are a little more meek about it. But they all have an attitude.
develops goes hopefully time
Hopefully someone develops into that as time goes on.
ball camp chance continue evaluate goes great happy people possible throwing time
For the most part, I was pretty happy with what I saw. He's got a great chance at being one of the starters. As time goes on, we'll continue to evaluate all the people we have in camp as possible starters. He's throwing the ball well.
kept
Too many 2-0 counts. But he kept us in the game.
innings season setting start
We just need to get a lot of innings in for a lot of people. We'll start setting up for the season after this round.
difficult game hit runners ugly win
It was an ugly game for us. We didn't pitch, we didn't play defense, we didn't hit with runners on. It's difficult to win a game like that.
beat home run second solo third
The solo (homer) doesn't kill you in the second inning. It's the home run in the third that really hurts. Howard beat him today.
bottom picked pile protect ran series sixth thinking trying won
I started thinking about it in the sixth inning. At the end of the game, I ran out and picked him up. I was trying to protect him. I had been on the bottom of the pile when we won the World Series in 1996, and it wasn't much fun.
game keeps
Is it unfair? In a sense, yes. But I think we all know why we're doing it that way, and that's part of what makes this game tick. It's what keeps salaries up.
