almost clubhouse fun game intensity league playing
With these young guys, we have the intensity we need. It's almost like we're 10 years old playing in Little League again, but winning's more important now. It's just a lot of fun in the clubhouse now before the game and after the game.
board crooked gets half held imperative momentum next number quick seemed shift team throw
When a team comes out and gets a little momentum like that, I think it's very imperative to come out and throw a crooked number up on the board the next half inning. It's a quick momentum shift back to our side. Once we got that shift, it just seemed like we held it from there.
good starters
That's what we're used to around here. That's what we're going to get. We have too many good starters to let that happen.
golf
You should see his golf swing. It's unbelievable.
good help might motivated
Anything that can help us get motivated is good enough for me. If it's about revenge, then that's what it might take.
kick
This is another big homestand for us. We need to kick it up a notch.
scoring
The most important thing is to be able to put up a big inning when you' re down by five. As long as we're scoring runs, I feel like I'm doing my job.
fun
Oh, he's ready. It's going to be fun to watch.
early peak peaked problem year
I thought that all year we didn't want to peak too early. I think that's been our problem in the past, that we've peaked too early and then relaxed.
people saying
People are just saying that so they can have something to print.
pitch throws
Pedro throws a lot like Livan (Hernandez). He'll throw off-speed on any pitch in the count. He pitched great. We couldn't do anything.
color looks wearing wrong
Just looks like he's wearing the wrong color blue.
confidence huge legs
I think that was huge for me, personally, to get my confidence back and get my legs back under me. I feel great. I feel like I'm right back on track.
exactly focusing games happen job last point reason three
I think these last three games showed that anything can happen at any point in the game. That's exactly the reason why you keep focusing on the job and get the job done.
