Umpiring of baseball has been around since Day 1 and some calls are missed, but most of the time they get it right, ... Instant replay in baseball? I don't know if it is ever going to be such a plus that is should be a part of our game. There are plays that are going to be bang bang. But you have to absorb that and play good baseball.
He needs a little more time to see if it calms down. We don't want it to get worse. It is structurally sound. There is just some inflammation.
We're going to need Tim and it was good to see him square one up.
Tim Salmon, his groin got a little bit tight. Francisco, a little cramp in his hamstring.
It seems like we've come to this point numerous times this season, where you wonder if you're over the bump in the road and things are going to start to click, ... This would be a good time for it.
A muddy track is not something that works in our favor. I think we need to run the bases, we need to stay aggressive. I think whether we play tonight or tomorrow or any time this series, you're going to have a slower track just because of the wetness that you anticipate the field having.
We kept waiting for him to show the wear and tear,
We certainly set the table, but we couldn't get that hit with guys in scoring position. (Rodrigo Lopez) made some pitches to put some guys away that were on the money, and we just couldn't put pressure on him. We just couldn't get that one hit to kind of get things going.
Vlad has had some stretches occasionally where hits haven't fallen in. But he's the type of hitter that takes one swing to get him locked in seeing the ball again, and he can go crazy. That's a dangerous player, and they have done a good job with him so far.
You have to remember, ... he was No. 1 on a lot of people's list a couple of years ago.
We were facing a real potpourri of pitchers, ... Everyone who came in the game made good pitches. All of those guys, they've got some good young arms. Woodyard had good stuff. Fortunately, we got to them late.
We had some opportunities on the offensive side. We got into a position but we fell short.
Finley's been swinging the bat a lot better, ... It's good to see him chip in.
Fin's very frustrated, ... We're all very frustrated with the year Fin's having. No one feels it more than Fin.
