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.
drive hits momentum runs
Two-out hits to drive in runs are huge. They are momentum killers to the other side.

Jarrod threw the ball very, very well. He was outstanding. We just couldn't score runs off the other guy.

We've got to keep those runs from scoring, especially late in the ballgame.

That was a great slide and we got two runs out of it. That is something we have been lacking all year.

He pitched an outstanding game. We just couldn't score enough runs for him to win.
ball blowing good homer wind
I know the wind was blowing out, but that ball was spanked, so it probably would have been a homer regardless. And that's good to see.
bragging common deep flowery love tells trying
I'm really trying not to go off the deep end bragging about this guy. I'd love to tell you the flowery things I'm thinking, but common sense tells me I shouldn't go down that road.
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.
ball hit wrong
The ball was hit well, just to the wrong place.

On a scale of 1-10, this is barely a 1. This is patty cake.
guns people problem rather swinging swung walks wonder
After the walks some people will wonder why Carl swung at the first pitch, but I didn't have a problem with it. We had one of our big guns at the plate. I'd rather have him swinging there.
control innings talk
I'm not going to talk about the umpire. Let's talk about something we can control, ... The first two innings were very non-typical of his outings this year.
few good guys pleased step threw waiting woods
I'm especially pleased with the way Woods threw the ball. And Gonzalez. It's good to see those guys step up. We've been waiting for it for a few weeks, and it's still not too late.
