guy hit leagues minor results seen
You don't look at results in the minor leagues because I don't think I've ever seen a guy go down there and not get hit around.
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.
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.
bullpen good guys tired year
Our bullpen has been very good all year but those guys are tired right now. Everybody's tired.
guy hitting home run tough
Look, if the guy is going to keep hitting a home run a day it would be tough to keep him out of there.

Some guys get by with a lot of hard-hit balls that are outs, they get a ton of runs scored for them. You look further than just results. You see what they guy's featuring and that will tell you everything.
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.

Those guys have been doing that all year.

We even talked about it last winter, about him possibly being the leadoff guy to start the season,

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.

It's not always pretty, but certain guys find a way. That was the best I've seen him this year.
games guess guys night number sure using
I'm sure there's been some guys who have been using it for a number of years. Like anything else, some do, some don't. I guess we have see when there's day games after night games.
