hopefully numbers prove
That's out of his control. Hopefully the other numbers prove to be stronger.
baseball best challenge easy forward good hopefully looking opening season start tough
It's going to be a tough opening month. I think most of us are just looking forward to getting the season going and looking forward to the challenge of it. Hopefully we can get off to a good start and play the best baseball right away because it's not going to be an easy stretch.
bit finish hopefully last numbers people persuade strong three top total wins
At least top three. A lot of times wins are out of your control, so all he can do is try to finish off strong with his last three (starts) and get his win total up a little bit and hopefully his other numbers are strong enough to persuade some people to go that route.
help hopefully sounds
Sounds awesome. He's going to do nothing but help us, and hopefully he'll get back to his old form. Hopefully it'll be like the Shannon Stewart trade.
guys hopefully pick runs slack staff
These guys are doing what they have to do right now to put runs on the board, especially when we as a staff aren't doing as well as we'd like to. We still have to pick up some slack and when we do, hopefully we can pick them up sometimes, too.
feed guys hopefully last maybe seen sharp slow start
The last two outings were as sharp as we've seen him. Hopefully he's through his little slow start and on the right track. And now maybe other guys feed off what he's doing.
almost feeling people
It was almost worse. It's like this feeling that you just let a whole lot of people down. I know for myself, I don't want to feel that way again.

Every time IBM sells a product that uses our technology, it damages us. That will come out at the trial,
almost game huge leave room win
Every game is huge right now, especially for us. We're the ones chasing. It's almost like we have to win when they win and we have to win when they lose. It doesn't leave us too much room for error.
almost ball break good hits huge matter moment stroke swinging
You almost know he's going to break out, that he's going to come up with huge hits for us. No matter how he's swinging the bat, at any moment he can put a good stroke on the ball and do what he did.
staff
We've got our staff back. We've got a better lineup. We're going to be a lot better.
battle huge team
That was a huge loss. It's one of the more disappointing losses, especially for our team to battle back like that.
glad heard loudest since win
I was glad to get through it and get Johan a win after the way he pitched, ... Since I've been here, that's the loudest I've heard it.
along lines spot stir trying
I think J.C. is in a better spot mentally, so I think it was more along the lines of that than him trying to stir up anything with us.
