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.
certain coming ready seven sitting straight takes
Lehr was up seven straight times, ready to come in (for certain situations). Getting up and sitting back down takes more out of you than coming in games. You can't keep doing that.
bush count dave fastball kept pitch seven
Dave Bush was really, really good. He kept his pitch count down. He got us through seven innings, which was big. He was spotting his fastball really well.
board lay runs seven
That's one thing about the Cardinals, they're not going to lay down and die. Even after we scored seven runs I wasn't comfortable. They can put runs on the board in a hurry.
hated seventh sharp
He was as sharp as he could be. He was just great. He was so sharp through the seventh inning that I hated to take him out.
hitter lately noticed seventh sit throughout winning
He's going to be a 3, 4, 5 hitter throughout his career. He's not going to sit in the seventh spot. And I don't know if you've noticed lately but we haven't been winning too many games, so something's broke.
definitely gave good happen job nice opportunity rick seven strong three
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.
guys heart knew matter time
I know these guys will play with a lot of heart and a lot of pride. I knew it was matter of time before we got it going again.
knew
I knew it was something we had to do,
believe
I'm real superstitious. Somehow, I don't believe it's the uniform.
worthwhile
It's not going to be easy. And nothing worthwhile is easy.
bat concern swinging
It's not a concern to me. I hadn't even thought about it. Jenkins is swinging the bat OK.
everybody settle younger
Everybody was a little off today, command-wise. Especially for the younger kids, there's always some jitters. They'll settle down.
average difficult hitting joe record streak tremendous understand win year
The average person probably doesn't understand what he has done and the accomplishments he's achieved, ... To win 14 consecutive years, it's like Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak - it's a record that never will be broken. He has done it with tremendous turnover in roster. He has done it under difficult circumstances. He has done it with rookies. He has done it with veterans. He just does it year after year after year.
