chance
I thought we had a chance after that.
brady consistency trying whatever work
I think Brady will work out whatever is going on with him. I'm just trying to get some consistency in our offense.
adequate billy quite
I think Billy can play, quite honestly, every day at second, probably every day at short, every day at third, or every day in the outfield. He could be adequate at all those spots.
excitement next spring training
I think there will be a lot of excitement in spring training next year.
addition afraid great jeff second solid
Jeff Cirillo is a solid player. He's been a great addition to the team. He does everything well. I'm not afraid to put him at second base.
came clean foot good
Kolb came in and had a clean inning. It was good to get Kolb off on the right foot - he's going to be a big part of our bullpen.
benny bit davis good starter
I think Doug Davis would be a No. 1 starter on a lot of teams. He's every bit a No. 1 starter as Benny is. We feel good about him.
six throw worry
I said, don't worry about it. He's only going to throw about 50 pitches. That's about six innings, and then he'll be done.
defeating fighting fights-and-fighting hard
Our guys, what they're doing is they're fighting real hard to try to get out of it. It's defeating the purpose.
breaking easy feeling geared knowing life second talked
Knowing he would be a little more geared up, he wanted to back off on his breaking ball. It's something we all talked about. The second inning he had easy life on his fastball. You could see he was feeling good. He's right on schedule.
both hit home runs
J.J. is going to hit some home runs. He's not a Punch-and-Judy hitter. Both of the home runs he has hit (this week) have been big for us.
double nice plays three turned
J.J. has been outstanding. We have turned some nice double plays already (nine in three games). He's been great.
allow enter focus negative past point thoughts
It got to the point where we all had been through it. The thing you do is not focus past today. You don't allow negative thoughts to enter your mind.
levels reason three year
I think we all were (impressed). There's some reason why he has jumped three levels in a year and a half. You could see why today.
