bad behind both catching chad given great hit jobs pleased
I've been real pleased with our catching this season. Damian has given us a little more pop, and Chad hit better after a bad start. Both do great jobs behind the plate.

again against behind billy bottom caliber carpenter fall four good guy hall help hits innings runs score timely tying
To fall behind 2-0 and then come back and score two runs and then again to fall back by four runs, making it 6-2, and tying it up in the bottom of that innings against the guy the caliber of Carpenter is a good feeling. We had a lot of timely hits. Overbay and Billy Hall had big nights. Even Cappy had two big hits to help his cause.

(Cappy) had pretty good stuff but he fell back behind and you can't do that against St.Louis. We're glad we could get the win for him.

There are things we're still trying to accomplish. The .500 mark is one of them, and to continue to battle in the wild-card race is one of them. You can't fall too far behind in either one of those at this time of year.

We just let too many opportunities get early. We got his pitch count way up and had opportunities to score and couldn't put the ball in play. That always finds a way to come back and haunt you.
ball catching count fewer pitch position runners scoring three
We just let too many opportunities get by early. We got his pitch count up and three times we had runners in scoring position and fewer than two out. We just couldn't put the ball in play. That has a way of catching up with you.
ball good happens haunt preach
We just let too many opportunities get by early. That always comes back to haunt you. We preach to put the ball in play. Nothing good happens with a strikeout.
ahead ball chance figured gamble good hit odds throwing trying
We figured that would be a good chance to gamble and take a shot. Davies was throwing the ball very well at that point. The odds of trying to get a two-out hit probably weren't in our favor. We thought we'd go ahead and gamble, and it worked.
cabin room
The room is my friend, not my enemy. I don't get cabin fever.
ball
It was a ... bullet, and at times the ball skips in this outfield. To Conine's credit, he's charging that ball to make a play at the plate.
