filled good moving needs
We're moving in the right direction. We filled some needs and now we need to go out there and see how good we are.
good offence shape
We're in good shape because our offence has been very good at this point.
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.
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.
finish good hang until
We want to hang in there and see what develops. We want to finish well and say we had a good year. You play until you're eliminated.
bullpen good guys tired year
Our bullpen has been very good all year but those guys are tired right now. Everybody's tired.
bullpen chance good
Look at his arm, his age. He's got a chance to be a very good starter. I don't think we're even considering the bullpen right now. He's got too much going for him the other way.
bullpen coming eliminated good stacked vital
I think (sending McGowan to Triple-A) would do him good because of the way the bullpen is stacked up right now. We're not coming down here with him eliminated (from the picture). But if we were to keep him with us, it would have to be a vital role.
ask build games good knock love played playing trying type
It doesn't get any easier, but we've played them good all year. We'd love to go in there and knock them out somehow. We couldn't ask for more for what we're trying to do here. We're trying to build something, getting used to playing these type of games for our own experience.
afraid common everybody experience gets good great love maybe run time together work
I think that's common knowledge. Maybe not, but it's going to be soon. Great experience -- they love to work and everybody gets along. You'll run into some staffs where everybody doesn't see eye-to-eye and there's a little separation. With this group, everybody has a good time together and we're not afraid to disagree.
good hit player power run
I think he's going to hit for some power and be a run producer. He's got a good swing. ... He should be a good big-league player before it's all said and done.
good hit home runs start swinging
It didn't start out good, that's for sure. We've been swinging good and we like our offence. When you can hit some home runs it makes a difference.
both chance good great learning looked
Jeez, they both looked good. They both have a chance to have great careers. Two youngsters with good arms. They're both learning in the big leagues.
bottom confident good guys swinging teams top
Our guys have been very confident swinging the bat. From top to bottom we've been pretty effective, and that's what you have to have. All the good teams do.
