I look at it as a big-picture scenario,
fits green wall
I really like the board, but the green was a little bright. Now it fits the wall out there.
great intent player spring winning
I put him up there with the intent of him winning the game. You know, he's had such a great spring for us, he's such a veteran-type player who really is comfortable in those situations.

In true Bobby fashion, all he wanted to talk about was how good we were doing, ... Finally, I said, 'Bobby, look, I called you to talk about you, OK? I want to congratulate you and tell you how good you're doing.'

I'm thinking about a lot of things. I don't want guys not playing an extended amount of time.
happy swinging
I'm happy with the way we're swinging our bats.
coming everybody matter move occasional taking worry
I may move him up or down, but I'm not taking him out of the lineup no matter what happens. He'll get his occasional day off just like everybody will get, but he doesn't have to worry about coming out of the lineup. He's playing.

They'll go a long way if they have a good September in terms of production and getting the job done for next year.

It was just one of those days. He just wasn't sharp tonight. I was hoping he could go two innings but his fast ball was up and he wasn't locating his pitches.
beat game good hard mistakes phase sit talent wait win
Not only are they so good talent-wise, they're so good in every phase of the game. You come in here and play them, you know they're not going to beat themselves. They're going to play the game hard and they're going to play the game right. If you sit back and wait for them to make mistakes so you can win a game, you're going to be in trouble.
depends fall fill guys knowing
Not knowing who's going to be the starter, the other two guys will probably fall back in and be in the pen. It depends on who has the most versatility to fill those spots.
matter tough
If you're on that night, it doesn't matter who you are. You're going to be tough to beat.

If you give up just one run, the game's over if you don't score. When it's 11-0, it's everything, pitching, defense and hitting.
knows pick
He's smart. He knows when to pick his spots.
