afraid best fail seen willie
One of the best things about Willie, other than his speed, is that he's got guts. You can't be afraid to fail and I haven't seen Willie back off in two years.
badly ball hit miss spots
Obviously, we didn't hit our spots today. When you miss as badly as we missed, you see what can happen. We just couldn't get the ball where wanted to.
few hit series
Obviously, we didn't hit our spots. There were more than a few at-bats this series where we pitched him where we wanted to and we got him out.
adrian coming
More and more I see Adrian coming into that role,
extra giving jamie starts winds
We're giving Jamie an extra day of rest. And this way it winds up giving him two starts at home.
mountain
Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill. He'll be back tomorrow.
both chance gave great hate job
I hate to use those two matchup guys, Sherrill and Putz, that early. They both did a great job and gave us a chance to do what we did later.
chance gave ourselves patience
We gave ourselves a chance to come back. We had patience when it counted.
asked command flying guys terribly tried
You guys asked me before if he was awestruck with the Yankees, and I tried to downplay that. I don't know he was awestruck, but he was terribly excited. He was flying open. Bad. He couldn't find command of his pitches.
best couple eddie felt last
We've really pitched Eddie a lot the last couple of weeks. We felt like this way was the best way to go.
added bases earlier load rest run score sort
When you load the bases with no outs, you want to score more than one run. When we added Lopez's two to the run we got earlier that inning, it was sort of a springboard for the rest of the game.
balls throw tonight tried wild
Tonight he was really good. He can get wild and throw a lot of balls. We tried to let him do that, but he didn't.
guys hit
Two 3-1 counts, and we got fastballs up to guys you don't want to get fastballs up to, and they hit them out.
add everybody happened runs supposed
To add the runs on is huge. You really couldn't write it up better than it happened tonight. Everybody is doing what they're supposed to do in the lineup.
