good heavy
It's pretty heavy - that's a pretty big trophy. But it was a good feeling. I'd like to do it again.
club good guys last records strange throughout track trouble year
It's been strange to see a club have this much trouble throughout the lineup. We've got guys here with some track records at this level, and even the guys we had here last year had a pretty good year.
bullpen feeling gone good guys miner pitches strikes thrown
Miner pitched well, and the guys in the bullpen have thrown strikes and gone after guys. They're making some pitches when they have to. I'm really feeling good right now about the way the bullpen has pitched in these first two games.
bats energy good obviously swinging takes
Obviously we're not swinging the bats good right now. And when you don't swing the bats good, it takes away from the energy of the club.
good trying
He's been working hard. We're trying to get him going. It's good for him to have success.
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.
ball believe good home ryan throw took
I believe he thought Ryan was going to throw the ball to home plate. He took a pretty good hit.
behind leaving three tough
That was a tough one to lose. We thought about leaving Gardner in, but he hadn't pitched in three weeks. We were kind of behind the 8-ball there, and we did what we had to do.
awful came time
That was an awful big play for us. It came at the right time for us.
bit fill solid step
That's unfortunate, because he's a solid guy. Somebody's going to have to step it up a little bit and fill that role.
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.
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.
concern
It shouldn't be a concern for him, it should concern me that we're not scoring.
finally pressure struggling takes three
It was like Espinosa was out three times, and they never got him out. When a team's struggling and it finally scores, that takes the pressure off a little bit.
