determine exams fort happened hold hopefully length move second time
Preliminary exams say the same thing. We'll let (Dr. Andrews) determine that and then go from there. It's big. The second time it's happened to him. You've got to move on. We've just got to hold down the fort and hopefully he's not out for any length of time.
himself leagues minor push throw whether
Personally, I don't see him making that start. He has to come out and throw in the 'pen but whether he can push himself out there to really know, we don't know. If (he can't go) we'll have to go down to the minor leagues (for a replacement).
good
We had some good at-bats. We were way overdue anyway.
clutch good hitting time
We had some good at-bats and some clutch hitting there in the ninth. That's the first time we ever did anything with Baez this year.
later
We could probably use some of those later in the year.
brian gets ok pull supportive throw whoever wins
Brian and I are friends, and we throw a lot together, ... Whoever wins the spot, we'll be supportive of each other. If he gets it, I would be OK with that. We pull for each other.
feeling good looks
Everything looks like it's going to be all right. Everyone is feeling good about things again.
believe pitchers veteran
Believe it or not, you get some of those veteran pitchers and they can get in some jams and come up with a pitch here or there.
game wait
The thing about this game is that it doesn't wait on you.
beat goes guy tough
The thing about Crawford is he's got some big-time power, too. He can beat you in so many ways. They're pretty much the same guy once they get on, you know they're going to get their bases, it's tough to get them even when everything goes right.
baseball cares good guy notch phases top
I've been around some good baseball people, but he's so good in all phases of the game. You're not going to find a better worker, you're not going to find a guy who cares as much. Sometimes he probably cares too much, but he's just top notch all the way around.
fan few last leagues minor phase played tough towns york
I've always been a fan of the guy. He played for me in Triple-A. He's been in the big leagues the last few years. He's had some success. He's played in some tough towns -- in New York and L.A. -- So that doesn't phase him. He's not a Minor League player. He's a big league player.
bad extra felt game josh last rest second start ted
Ted (Lilly) has a bad back right now, something he felt the day after his last start (March 26). So we'll give him an extra day of rest and have Josh (Towers) start the second game and Lilly the third.
expect harder slow stretch tougher won
Sometimes the harder you try the tougher it gets. (Towers) will be there in the end. He's just going through a tough stretch right now. He's always won for us and we expect him to again. He's just off to a slow start.
