fun played
We played well all night, and that made for a fun evening.
hits nine three
We had nine hits and scored three runs. Sometimes you don't get the hits when you need them.
ball caught concerned good received
I wasn't concerned about the strikeouts. He caught the ball well. He received the ball well. He made a good play on a short-hop (pitch in the dirt) to get the first out of the game.
cart discuss good putting talk
We have options. It wouldn't do any good to discuss them before I talk to Bill. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
contract talked
We haven't talked to Mel and we haven't talked about Mel. He's still under contract with the Yankees.
balls four gave hit quick
We gave up four quick ones and never got back in it. We didn't even hit many balls hard.
send talking
We'll probably send him to the instructional league. I'm not sure, but we've been talking about it.
afraid guy role swing
We need a guy in that role who's not afraid to swing the bat. And this guy is not afraid.
ball runs score threw
Jarrod threw the ball very, very well. He was outstanding. We just couldn't score runs off the other guy.
al fit great hitting nice west
Jarrod should be a great fit for our rotation. With the left-handed hitting in the AL West and in our ballpark, it's nice to have another lefty.
adjust command consistent element hoping jeff key location somewhere success
Jeff had a seven-pitch first and 35-pitch second, and we were hoping he'd adjust somewhere in the middle. But he couldn't. His location was off and his command, and command is the key element to success on a consistent basis.
came jeff threw
Jeff came in and threw strikes. He competed. And he's versatile, too. He can start, he can relieve, he can spot-start.
along continue jamie last outing
Jamie was good. His outing today, to go along with what Hernandez did last night, it makes you feel pretty good. We just have to continue to do that.
good jamie threw
Jamie did a very good job. He threw well enough to win, but so did the other guy.
