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.
good
Is that a problem? Yeah. Is that a good problem? Yeah.
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.
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.
gets good pitcher pitching point realizing thinks
Sometimes when a young pitcher gets to the point where he's pitching pretty good, he thinks he's being lucky. (Capuano) is realizing he's pitching good because he is good.
ability forget good guys happened
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.
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.
finally good great offense together
We finally put together some good offense and great pitching. It's beautiful.
amount extended felt good turned win
You just kind of felt that. I turned around and said, 'Prince is going to win it for us right here.' He's too good a player, too good a hitter, to have it go an extended amount of time.
against good guy sending
We feel good about sending Doug out. Doug has always pitched very well against Pittsburgh. He's a guy that you like to have on the mound.
good john
John Smoltz is pretty good. He's been pretty good for a long time.
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.
bad came good pitcher
He's a good pitcher having a bad year. And the good pitcher in him came out tonight.
