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.
anticipate baseball catch experience good number people players taking time
I don't anticipate it taking him a long time to catch up. Kenji is a good baseball player, number one, and it has been my experience that good players know how to get people out.
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.
aspects ball bases club lapse played sixth
I think all aspects of our ball club played well, we just had that one lapse in the sixth inning with the bases loaded.
ball base coming everybody guys jobs putting scoring supposed
Everyone is doing what they're supposed to do. Guys around our big guys are getting on base and into scoring position, and our big guys are putting the ball in play and coming through. Everybody is doing their jobs offensively.
bases chance polished scoring worse
There's nothing worse than loading the bases and scoring one run. Jose is still not a polished player, but he has a chance to become one.
aggressive base envelope gets good key lead pushes stealing
He's not the fastest, but he's a good, aggressive base runner. He gets a good lead and when he commits to stealing a base, he really commits. He pushes the envelope and that's the key to his success.
anytime compliments dan few good phony rarely talks ultimate walks wilson worse
When I say Dan Wilson is one of the good guys, for me, that's the ultimate compliment. Very few of us, in all walks of life, rarely say and do the same thing. There's nothing phony about Dan Wilson. He talks the talk and walks the walk. Anytime someone like that leaves, we're all worse off for it.
albert charge coach lack level stayed sure
We had a coach who was with Albert at every level Albert went. He was Albert's babysitter, for lack of a better word. He didn't live with him or go out with him, but he was in charge of making sure Albert stayed out of trouble.

We're giving Jamie an extra day of rest. And this way it winds up giving him two starts at home.

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.
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.
ball hit last
We hit the ball pretty decently today, but right at people. Just like last night.
