bat bench brady days five four help houston seven
Brady is seven days out and still four or five days away in the best-case scenario. Going into Houston another left-handed bat off the bench will help us.
ben chris good pleased threw
Ben (Sheets) threw well, Doug Davis, Chris Capuano, I was pleased with all of our starters. It was a good day.
benny evaluate shoulder slight strain tomorrow
Benny we think has a slight strain of his lat. It's not the shoulder or elbow. We will evaluate him tomorrow and he will be day-to-day.
ben best interest opening push ready team
Ben would have made the team if he had been completely healthy. But it was in his best interest not to push it, so he'd be ready opening day.
again anymore believe benny healthy last nearly sharp
Believe it or not, Benny wasn't nearly as sharp as his last start. He's back healthy again - we don't even think about that anymore - and doing what he does best. He was on the attack.
ben feeling
You can always tell how Ben is feeling by his personality.
ben blend happened kids leadership learning man nice playing team type veteran
You have to have that type of balance. You got a 25-man team and every man has to go out there and do his job. That's what happened in that (seventh) inning. Now, we've got talented, experienced veteran leadership in Carlos (Lee) and (Geoff) Jenkins, Ben Sheets. We've got the young kids learning and playing hard, too. It's a nice blend to have.
ben chip everybody guys help pick slack
Everybody has to pick up the slack with Ben out. All the guys have to chip in and help out.
benny happen hate injuries key pack pick slack
We're not going to pack up and die. Key injuries happen to every team. I hate it for Benny and the team, but you have to pick up the slack and go.
bench confusion count five four home sit
You don't really sit there and count them down. There was some confusion on the bench if there were four or five home runs.
benny
We're not going to do anything stupid. We want Benny for the long haul.
ben defense games healthy last league minor month national pick puts sheets surely won
We didn't have a healthy Ben Sheets and we were last in defense in the National League and still won 81 games last year. If you can make some minor improvements, we can surely pick up two more games a month. Two more games a month puts you in the 90- to 93-win range. Can we pick up two more games a month and do what we did last year? I've got to think that we can.
ben good great matched performance pitch sharp stayed tonight
They got a great performance out of Arroyo. He was very sharp and stayed on the attack. Ben was good tonight but Arroyo matched him pitch for pitch.
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.
