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.
five happy home last surely win
We were happy with the home stand, but when you win the first five you surely want to win the last game.
bring extra five games pitching player problems run short turn
We're a player short for a day or two because of Branyan. We thought it was more important to have an extra player on the bench. It's only for, what, five games because we're off Monday. And if we run into pitching problems we can always turn right around and bring someone up.
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.
against best compete count finds five great pitcher roger runs scoring stuff time ways
You don't really count on scoring five runs against Roger Clemens. He didn't have great stuff but the thing about that kind of pitcher is that he finds ways to compete even when he doesn't have his best stuff. Any time you beat, you've done something.

You really can't count on scoring five runs off of Roger Clemens, but tonight, luckily, we did. Any time you can beat him, you've done something.

There was some confusion at the end of the inning, whether there were four or five home runs. We just knew that we hit a bunch of home runs.
coming early five four gets innings pick pitching pressure rotation spring though three thrown type
His workload has been real heavy. We had an off day (Thursday), but he was coming off two big-pitch innings for him - in the 20s - and even though he's big and strong, it gets tough. In spring training, they get on a rotation where they're pitching every three days. Then you pick it up a little and they're pitching every other day. Now, he's been in four out of five days. To be thrown into that, even though you're big and strong, it's still a little early to have that type of pressure put on you.
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.
against andy five home key
I didn't feel we were out of the game, especially after Corey's home run. The key is if you are going to give up five going against Andy Pettitte, you can't give up any more.
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.
