closer help matters needs
He needs an inning badly. It doesn't help matters for any closer to go that long without pitching.
coming might occasional
He might get an occasional day off but he's not coming out of the lineup.
came camp great looks
He came into camp in great shape. He really looks good.
continued
This was nothing new. He just continued what he's been doing all spring.
blow good later liked saw strong
When he pitched more aggressively out of the bullpen, something started clicking. Later in the year, he was strong and the more I saw him, the more I liked him. I think he has a lot of up side. I saw him blow away some good hitters.
cost couple
That cost us a run. We had a couple things that didn't go right tonight, but we won.
felt
I just felt like Dana was going to get them out.
baseball came feeling slightly spring
Before he came to Spring Training, he strained it a little bit. He slightly re-injured it in the World Baseball Classic. He came back and was feeling all right, but he slid into first the other day and kind of tweaked it again.
bring elbow guy
His elbow is sore. We're not going to bring a guy up who's hurt.
bad month
He wouldn't have had a bad month without that problem. We weren't going to use it as an excuse.
ball game good plate reflect run score time tying
Any time you get the tying run to the plate (late) in a ball game you've done a pretty good job. But the score really doesn't reflect that.
ball head hit last normally opposite
The last thing he's normally going to do is hit the ball over an outfielder's head going the opposite way.
attack guy needed order stay
I just told him he really needed to stay on the attack and get after this guy in order for it to happen.
atlanta bunch john remember throw time warming
I just remember the first time we went through it in Atlanta with a bunch of young guys, in 1991. John Smoltz would be warming up and it would be like he was going to throw up. How's he going to get through the first inning?
