capitalize good mistakes opportunity pitches
You have to be patient, ... He makes a lot of good pitches and doesn't make many mistakes, and when he does make a mistake, you have to capitalize on it. If we get an opportunity to score, we need to do it and not let him off the hook. He's too good for that.
ahead chances double figure game good hanging late missed trying
We had some chances and I'm still trying to figure out why I missed that hanging curveball (in a sixth-inning strikeout). The double late in the game was good but that wasn't the story. We should have been ahead before that.
good
If we can get out of here with a split, we'll be in pretty good shape.
bats good hit spring year
I don't feel like I'm on fire, but I'm getting my hits. I still have those at bats when I feel like I'm back in spring training. I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. If I feel like this all year and hit good that's fine.
bottom bunch couple driven good hit means time weeks
Most of the time when you have those 10-run, 12-run games, it means the bottom of your lineup has hit well and driven in a bunch of runs. We've really been getting contributions all up and down the lineup. It's been a good couple of weeks for us.
against command good great jump tough trying
I think he didn't have great command on what he's trying to do out there. He's been very tough against us, so it was good to jump on him early.
good goofy hit seem
He's got something goofy on that fastball. You just can't seem to get a good hit on it.
battle good position
I think it's a good position to be in because we'd like to get off to a good start, but if we don't, we know we can battle back from it.
beat gets good guy series settles
We know it's an important series and they know it's important. A lot of times you can get to a guy before he settles in and gets his good control. A lot of times that's how you beat a good pitcher, get to him early.

We know it's a big series, and they know it's a big series. A lot of times you can get to a guy before he settles in. A lot of times that's the only way to beat a good pitcher.
bats competing downs enjoy games good job last nice putting swinging three ups
We've done a nice job at the plate. There's going to be ups and downs and you just have to try to enjoy the times we're swinging the bats well. The last three games we've done a good job competing and putting up runs.
almost call good ready sit week
He's tremendous. The thing that makes him so good is he can sit over there for a week with almost no activity, and when you call upon him, he's always ready to go.
best good stuff winner
He's always tough, and he's a 20-game winner for a reason. He's a good pitcher. I don't think he had his best stuff tonight, but he had good enough stuff to win.
