bat guy move particular swings whoever
It was the right guy at that particular time. I say whoever swings the bat better, that's when he will move up.
batteries believe days everybody hopefully month team thinks time turn
I think right now it's time to turn it up another notch. It's time to refuel the batteries and go for it. This month is real important to us. The first 15 days are real important for us. Hopefully we can go there and we believe we can do that and hopefully everybody on my team thinks the same way I think.
bat depends move protect swing swings whoever wiggle
It depends on how they swing the bat. Whoever swings the bat better will move up. I can wiggle and play with my lineup. If A.J. swings well, I want A.J. to protect Dye. If not, I want Iguchi to do it.
ball bat carry guys swinging
I was impressed. The ball doesn't carry here much. The guys are swinging the bat pretty well right now.
bat good guys happening hard last struggling swinging trying week
I feel that we have a better lineup than we're showing. But we have been really struggling the last week and a half. No one in our lineup is swinging the bat well right now. I think some of the guys are trying too hard and good things are just not happening for us right now.
bat help swing team
We have a better bench, a better rotation, and having Thome swing the bat the way he is now, he'll really help our team. But when you win the world championship, you can't say this team is better. That's not fair.
battle feeling good great sleep worry
It was a big game. It's a great feeling to be this close, but it's not over 'til it's over. It will be a battle tomorrow, but you don't worry about it, you get a good night's sleep and see what happens.
against battle difference facing guys
That's why I think it was the difference facing those guys every day. And my team's got to battle against those people. It was not easy.
base batteries charges couple games gets league looked minor saw
I saw him in a couple of minor league games and he looked really good. He can do a lot for us. When he gets on base he charges the batteries of everybody.
bat good swings
He swings the bat real good at the right moment, especially when we need it.
bat chance drop gave great hands himself hit home last man twice
I'm not going to take the bat out of his hands like I did last year. He gave himself up once or twice a game, and that's why I want to drop him down in the lineup. He is a great RBI man and this will give him a chance to hit more home runs.
bother feels knows tough tried
We tried to get something done. I think he (Contreras) feels comfortable here and I don't think things are going to bother him. Jose is a tough man. He knows what he is doing, especially where he comes from.
games played
We just play, ... We played 162 games with the same attitude.
babe dumb trade
We weren't dumb enough to trade Babe Ruth,
