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.
bee catcher flew home oh run saw
We had a bee swarm come through. Flew over the dugout, right over home plate. Saw the catcher run from the Dodgers. Oh my goodness, I was gone.
april games home month nicest played six year
We've played six games at home (13 on the road). April is the nicest month of the year in Florida, right? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
home jumping
It was kind of calm. I didn't see them jumping up and down at home plate. They were good.
dig home plate
You look back, and that was a real important run. I would dig home plate out if they let me, but I think they would get a little upset.
coming ground home mind rushed tried trying
J.J. got the ground ball. I think we tried to do too much trying to get too outs. I don't mind him coming home there because we're only going to get one out. I just think he rushed it.
guy hit home last month nice obviously project year
He showed for a month last year that he was a guy who can hit some home runs. If you hit home runs, you obviously are going to put up big numbers. He had 11 in a month -- basically, in 100 at-bats. If you project that out, that would be real nice for any club.
great guys home slide
He just got in there. It's a great slide. You tell guys never to slide headfirst into home plate, but it worked.
five guys hit home tampa
If I was to get the Tampa job, I'm not inheriting five guys that can hit 30 home runs. I'm inheriting a lot of guys who have to do the little things.
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.
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.
