against games past saw seattle ton
I saw a stat that said Guerrero has 14 homers against Seattle in 34 games the past two years. That's a ton of homers against one club.
afraid catch hip
I said, 'I'm afraid he'll try to catch it in his hip pocket,'
late runs
We've got to keep those runs from scoring, especially late in the ballgame.
anyone certainly defender good hard model plays role tremendous wants
He's a good player. He's a good hitter, a good defender and a good baserunner. He also plays hard all the time. He certainly is a tremendous role model for all our young players, or anyone else who wants to watch.
difference left pitches turned
Hernandez left two pitches up in the zone, and that turned out to be the difference in the game.
When it slows down, I'll let you know.
aware certainly extent keeping pitfalls protect sharp steer trying
We don't protect him to the extent that we go around keeping him away from sharp objects. But we're certainly trying to be aware of the pitfalls that are there and we try to steer him away from those.
almost easy extended gave good indians innings needed seeing shut somebody swinging
We really needed somebody to come in and shut the Indians down. Seeing how well they're swinging the bats, that's not an easy proposition. He gave us two very good innings and almost gave us three. We really extended him and he responded well.
finally game pulling won
We finally won our first extra-inning game and our first one-run game. When these things end, the way they end is usually like pulling teeth.
few situation
That was the big out of the inning. You get one out in that situation and there's a few things you can do.
great lacking runs slide
That was a great slide and we got two runs out of it. That is something we have been lacking all year.
against baseball dangerous gets good hitter hitters situation
That was big. Sherrill gets a big strikeout against a very good hitter and then Mateo gets one of the most dangerous hitters in baseball in a situation like that.
adversity capable everybody players year
That wasn't what we thought he's capable of. Sometimes young players are better players from the adversity that they have to go through. We'll see with Jeremy. But that wasn't the year that everybody expected.
charge hit saw slow
That was not hit hard, but it was no slow roller. I saw him charge and he made it look easy.
