building good sends signal start team
With Doug's extension, it sends a good signal to the team that we're going to be here. We've got a good start on this and we want to keep building to a championship team.
balls game good hit straight swings
Vargas was on his game today. We had some good swings and hit some balls on the nose, but we just hit them straight up.

Ben (Sheets) threw well, Doug Davis, Chris Capuano, I was pleased with all of our starters. It was a good day.

Every day is a different day. These guys are all professionals. They've got a real good ability to forget what happened yesterday, good or bad.
deep good
We need to get some good starts. We need to get some deep starts.
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.
balls concrete fields good ground night rain weather work
Boy, the infield is like concrete out there. Ground balls get by you in a hurry. We can use the good weather to get our work in but you'd like to see a little rain at night to soften up the fields a bit.
feet felt good kane pitch preserve trying
I didn't want to get (Wise) in with everything on the line. I wanted him to be able to get his feet back on the ground. I felt good with Kane Davis, ... We're doing everything we can to preserve a one-run lead. We're just trying to get to Turnbow. We were one pitch away.
against behind fell glad good stuff win
(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.
good pitching track turn
But those things all turn around. Our pitching will get back on track and we'll be in good shape.
good nice rick sync
Rick Helling did a nice job. (He) had little spurts where he got out of sync a little bit. He made good adjustments and would get out of it.

Rick did a good job in Triple-A, and he came up here and has done everything we've asked him to do. We'll give him a shot at it.

Really, we had three pretty good games. Rick Helling definitely gave us that opportunity for that to happen today. He had seven real strong innings. He has done a real nice job with his opportunities.
