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.
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.
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.
benny
We're not going to do anything stupid. We want Benny for the long haul.
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.
benny both good great hitting lights pitchers stuff threw
He (Sheets) was lights out. Both pitchers threw phenomenally well tonight. They both had great stuff and were hitting their spots. Benny was about as good as Benny could be.
bats exception games seems swinging team
We've been swinging the bats OK, with the exception of (Wednesday night), ... I think every team has those games where it seems like you can't get anything done.
ball count finds haunt pitch score
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.
good
Is that a problem? Yeah. Is that a good problem? Yeah.
