again time
Every time he's been in there he's pitched his butt off and he did it once again today.
again behind came defensive good great nixon people plays pole time today underrated understand
I had some great defensive plays behind me. I've said it time and time again, Trot Nixon is about as underrated an outfielder defensively as you can get. People don't understand how good he is, especially at Wrigley with the Pesky Pole and everything else. Once again he came up with a great play today that will probably get overlooked.
deep extra games guys helps people playing time
Any time you can go deep into a game, especially when you're playing so many games in a row, it helps those guys out in the bullpen, ... Being that it's September, there are a lot of people who need the extra day's rest.
body break catch glad hit nice time
It's nice to catch a break there, especially this time of year. I'm just glad it didn't hit my body.
course fallen game job second time
It's part of the game and part of the job description. Unfortunately, it's fallen on my day every time over the course of the second half.
history hopefully resilient team
This team is pretty resilient, ... Their history is being pretty resilient and hopefully that will be the case.
coach expect pitching problem
I don't expect it to be a problem or anything that's an issue. I think (Nipper) kind of comes out of Wally's mold, in a way. To me, a pitching coach is more of a psychologist than a pitching coach.
baseball healed health healthy help worry
More important is him and his health and his family, not baseball. Let's get him healthy and get him healed up, then we'll worry about when he's going to come help us pitch.
balls control execute left maybe needed pitches plate strike supposed zone
Maybe it was control in the strike zone today, ... I left a lot of balls over the plate and they did what you are supposed to do with balls over the plate. I didn't execute the pitches the way I needed to, and they didn't let me off the hook.
happen hope pitch works
Let's hope it works out where we don't have to even think about that. There's more combinations that can happen where I don't pitch Monday.
deserve five
When you come out after five innings, you kind of feel like you don't deserve it (the win) sometimes,
double pitch staying
The pitch that's staying with me is the double by Zaun. I had him.
health rotation starting
I think our starting rotation has a lot of potential. It just comes down to health.
criticize good people
I think people criticize his hitting, but this guy's as good as you're going to get at shortstop.
