dull felt good pain pull scar strange tissue
He didn't pull anything. It just felt strange to him. It was not a knifelike pain, just a dull ache. He has some scar tissue back there, and it could be he popped some of that, which would be a good thing.
early ended hit home last runs usual year
He didn't hit a lot of home runs early last year (four through May), either, and he still ended up with his usual 25 to 30 (25).
credit good
He didn't have his good stuff. I give him credit because he was out there competing, but he just wasn't sharp.
hitters talking third trouble
He didn't have any trouble getting the first two hitters out. We're talking about a third of an inning that killed us.
anymore goes hurt hurts seconds
He can't hurt it anymore than it already is. When it does hurt, it hurts for about 5 seconds and goes away.
game great
He (Davis) pitched a great game for us.
player type types veteran
He (Cirillo) is a veteran type player who is comfortable in those types of situations.
bad changing everybody great guy instead manager people treating treats worry
He just treats people like people instead of treating them like players. If a guy has a bad day, he doesn't treat them any differently than if they had a great day, and that makes everybody feel comfortable. They can all go out and play, and not worry about their manager changing his disposition every day.
ball board five found hit runs
He just struggled. They didn't hit the ball hard, but they found holes. They put five runs on the board on him quick.
balls bat found hit night smashing struggled
He just struggled all night long. They weren't smashing balls all over the place. They hit some balls off the end of the bat and they found some holes.
depth provides
He just provides so much depth for us, so much protection.
balls felt location parts
He just never really got it going tonight. He felt good, he felt all right. At times he popped it at 93 and most parts he got it around 90. He had a lot of balls up (and) his location just wasn't very good.
extremely game grew knows work
He knows what he's doing and knows what he wants. He grew up in this game and knows the game extremely well. I think he still has to work on his defense, but he will play every day.
guys
Guys that get accelerated are the guys that go through that.
