looked pitching team time
We looked like a team tonight. It's the first time we have had our whole lineup out there and, yeah, the pitching was solid.
bullpen good guys tired year
Our bullpen has been very good all year but those guys are tired right now. Everybody's tired.
ball bullpen came closing couple last might time
Our bullpen came up big time tonight. Gustavo struggled. He might be getting a little tired. He's closing in on that 200-inning marker. His last couple of starts, his ball has been up.
few guy
If we need another guy, it will be Downs. He would be the guy we'd go to. We've got to see where A.J. is in a few days.
far happens kids
If that happens to Lilly, we're kind of in a jam. You've got some young kids down there in Triple-A, but, ideally, you don't want to have to go to that, because they aren't that far along, either.
gets hot trying win
If someone really gets hot and we're trying to win some games, it could come to that.
number three
He's had our number all year. Three times we haven't been able to do anything with him.
heck keeps knew last leagues minor saw september special
He's had a heck of a year. We knew we had something special when we saw him last September and with what he did in the Minor Leagues last year. He keeps getting better and he'll keep getting better.
ahead ball bring found game good groove hit kept missing pitch pitches throwing
He's got to pitch ahead to be effective. He was throwing some pitches and he wasn't missing by much if he was missing. When he had to bring it over the plate, they hit him. Then after that, he kind of found his groove and pitched a good ball game and kept us in it from there on.
sometime
He understands. If we get him through he'll back sometime during the year, at least September.
couple days easy plenty time
He tweaked his quad a couple of days ago lifting. He'll have to take it easy for a week, two weeks. He still has plenty of time to get ready.

He worked at it and got groundballs. He looked like typical Doc out there.
ready
He won't be ready before the weekend, if then.
doctors few last obligated team toronto
He went to see team doctors in Toronto (on Wednesday). He wasn't obligated to go out there (at camp) the last few days.
