ahead along comparison few game good guys otherwise storm year
Very few guys come along like that, once every 20, 30 years, guys who take the game by storm right out of the gates. Hernandez is just way ahead of most 19 year olds, that's the difference. Otherwise these guys don't get here that fast. Same thing with Gooden. I don't know about that comparison yet, but he'd be pretty good if he is.
might
We were already down two there. If we were tied, we might have done something differently.
good offence shape
We're in good shape because our offence has been very good at this point.
games knew lost situation toll
We knew when we lost those two there was going to be some games like this and it was going to take its toll on our bullpen. That's just the situation we're in.
almost expect guys hoping knew list needed targeted wish
We knew what we needed to do to improve. We targeted some guys and we were hoping to get one or two of them. You never expect to get your whole wish list and we almost did that.
change couple course few guys looking starts until
We like a couple guys down there in Triple-A that can come up and do that job. We're not looking at it as a one-time deal. Of course if the guy comes up and struggles, we may change that. But we want the guy to make a few starts until A.J. is ready.
aggressive baseball good guys playing run team
We know what these guys are doing. They're a very aggressive team and they're playing really good baseball right now. That's the way they play. They've got some guys that can run the bases. ... Let's just keep the guys off the bases. Then they can't steal.
against gone
We'll take 3-3 right now having gone in against Boston. Now you can go home, but it doesn't get any easier.
early fastball looked
I thought Wright looked really good. It looked like he got his fastball back. We didn't see that early in the year.
eliminated guys played proud
We're not eliminated yet. I'm proud of the way the guys have played this year, they get after it. We're only going to get better.
came gave hung ourselves
We battled, we hung in there and gave ourselves some chances. They came through.
believe guys press seen start struggle tries
We're due. We're overdue, ... These guys can hit. We've all seen them hit. Believe it or not, what happens, when you struggle as a whole, everyone tries to do that much more. It may not always look like that but you start to press a little bit.
attach number
We'll get Q (Quiroz) in but I wouldn't want to attach a number to it.
couple days figure next
We'll look at that. We'll see how the next couple of days go and figure something out.
