beat game good hard mistakes phase sit talent wait win
Not only are they so good talent-wise, they're so good in every phase of the game. You come in here and play them, you know they're not going to beat themselves. They're going to play the game hard and they're going to play the game right. If you sit back and wait for them to make mistakes so you can win a game, you're going to be in trouble.
break retro waiting
I've been waiting to break them out but you can't do that before the first Retro Sunday.
major mental wait
We'll just have to wait and see. There's some concern. But major concern? Not really. Some of it could be a little mental too.
people three waiting
I don't know why people want to think it's a curse. We've been waiting three years for this.
fastball hard throwing
Tomo was very crisp today. He was sharp, he was throwing his fastball as hard as he has all year.
shot
We're going to give this a shot, and a shot is not one day.
We're doing a lot of little things right. We're getting some breaks, too.
guys next
We're getting a look at these guys for next year.
benny happen hate injuries key pack pick slack
We're not going to pack up and die. Key injuries happen to every team. I hate it for Benny and the team, but you have to pick up the slack and go.
experience learn lessons means starting
We're starting to get there. They know that by no means we're not there yet. They've got a lot of lessons to learn and there's a lot of experience to be gained, but they like where we're at.
consistent looking offense runs score top trying
We're looking for a little more offense at the top of the lineup now. We're trying to find a way to score some runs on a consistent basis.
battle behind continue either fall far mark race time trying
There are things we're still trying to accomplish. The .500 mark is one of them, and to continue to battle in the wild-card race is one of them. You can't fall too far behind in either one of those at this time of year.
hit runner scoring spot though
The only way he doesn't go out is if we get to his spot and there's a runner in scoring position, ... Then I probably would have hit for him, even though he was 2 for 2.
bases picking playing running third
We're playing pretty sound, fundamentally. We're going from first to third when we need to. We're picking up big runs. We're running the bases good. We're doing a lot of little things right.
