heart looking
I don't even know if we're looking for that. I just know my guys. They've got a lot of heart. They just get after it.
good ideally team time
Ideally we would have our whole team here the whole time because we have such a new look and so many new faces. But it's for the good of the game, so you just deal with it.
best gets guys hope ideally played sake
Ideally he gets through. But for his sake you hope he gets claimed. Guys who played for you in the past, you always want the best for those guys.
break caught force run second
One run wasn't going to do it, anyway. We caught a break on the force at second and they got one there. It's a wash.
basis came plenty returned three visitors weekly
Plenty of visitors not only came to see them on their first day out, but they've returned on a weekly or monthly basis to visit the three cubs.
feeling ready sooner year
If we're going to do anything this year, we need a big year out of him. So the sooner he can get ready the better. He's feeling good.
But we're not in their head, I wouldn't think so.
damn good year
But it's his first year and he has done a pretty damn good job.
best bring means ready top whatever win
But the top teams, in whatever sport, always bring out the best in you. That means you're usually ready to play, not that you'll win them all.
left time
But there's not a lot of time left (in the season), so I don't know yet what it means.
breaking bush definitely good hard needed
Bush was outstanding tonight. He had a good breaking ball. He had that hard crisp one. We definitely needed that, no question.
couple
She's OK. He'll be back in a couple of days.
win
Some day I think he'll win an MVP, I really do.
gotten liked lost run since support tight
Since he's come back, I've liked everything we've gotten out of him. Sometimes, he hasn't gotten any run support -- he's lost some tight ballgames. His won-loss record, I think, is misleading.
