people pressure situation strikes throw
To come in and throw strikes and get people out in a pressure situation like this was just outstanding. He showed a lot of poise.
god time
God, that is a long time ago. It's not everything, but it's a start.
brings guy special valuable whether
He's a valuable guy to have on your club. Whether he's playing, working with the other infielders, or on the bench, he brings a lot of energy. He's a special kid.
good trying
He's been working hard. We're trying to get him going. It's good for him to have success.
hit rather walking
He's been walking a lot. We'd rather he hit it out of the ballpark, but other than that a walk's all right.
both good runs score time
He's pitched well in both starts. We just didn't score any runs for him in his first outing. Any time you go out there and give up one run in two starts, that's a pretty good job.
behind help plate strikes watched
He didn't get a lot of help behind the plate the other night, either. I watched the film, and there were a lot of strikes that he didn't get.
bases chances hit
We had a lot of chances to score, but we can't get a hit with the bases loaded. I think we're 0-for-the-year with the bases loaded.
along expect guys leagues maybe pulled team trademark
You don't expect guys that's in the big leagues to come down here and try to be a part of our team again, and see us do well, and maybe go all the way. That's been the trademark of this club, how well they've got along and pulled for each other all year.
bad definitely overcome
We definitely can't overcome any mistake, any bad pitch, anything.
bite blow came chances game open tonight tough
It was another tough one to lose. We had a lot of chances tonight to blow the game open but we never could get a big hit. It came back to bite us.
cold definitely hitting hope
I hope so, because it won't be cold all year. We're definitely not hitting on all cylinders.
guy key took
That's a key guy in our lineup, you need him and he took an 'ofer' in this series. If he doesn't go, then we don't go.
bad easier last level move time year
Every time you move up a level it's a jump, so I think they're going to be better this year than last year - not that they were bad last year. I just think everything will be easier for them this year.
