good pitching track turn
But those things all turn around. Our pitching will get back on track and we'll be in good shape.
double surprised turn
It really surprised me that they were able to turn (the double play). I didn't think they had a chance.
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.
double nice plays three turned
J.J. has been outstanding. We have turned some nice double plays already (nine in three games). He's been great.
face opportunity point struck three turning
He had struck him out the first three times up. I was going to give him an opportunity to face him, and he struck him out again. That was the turning point of the game.
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.
turn
We haven't pitched very well. But those things turn around.
bullpen couple depth increase looking time turn
For the first time in a couple of years we're not going to have to turn the roster over to get better. We're going to have to increase our depth on the bench, the depth in our bullpen and Doug's always looking for pitching.
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.
