against ball couple effort good hanging left overall pitch pitches win
We didn't pitch well. He left a couple pitches hanging against a pretty good ball club. The effort overall wasn't there to win the game.
arm chance coming gives good happened innings jon kid league misses opportunity pulled seven sudden took trust
Before I got the job, Jon never had the opportunity to go more than six, seven innings. They always pulled him out, and all of a sudden I give him the chance and he took advantage. I think this kid's arm is there. This kid gives 200 innings every year, he never misses a start. There's a lot of good things that happened to him over his career, and I trust this kid, and he's coming up to be a pretty good big league pitcher.
besides case good plan
Besides that, we've got a Plan B. We're always prepared, just in case he couldn't make it. But that's pretty good news.
baseball bobby cox fire good guys last money night people retire taking yesterday
Bobby Cox called me last night and said, 'You'll never retire from baseball; make them retire you,' ... He called me like 4 yesterday and said: 'You're too good a baseball man; people like you. Make those guys fire you. Keep taking money away from them.'
clean given good house kenny matter series shot williams win
Sometimes when you win the World Series you clean the house and get a new team. It's not easy, no matter what you do. (General manager) Kenny Williams has given us a good shot to repeat.
against approach believe chasing doubt everybody game good people played wants worry
Everybody is chasing us, everybody wants to play good against us. No doubt about it. We have to take the same approach as we have in the past. We have to play the game the way we've always played the game. Don't believe the hype. You have to go there and play the game and not worry about what people think.
alex chance gives good throwing
Everyone was concerned, because I was only throwing 85, but it was good today. It gives me a chance to keep Alex sharp.
attention deal enjoyed good road
We enjoyed it; we had a good time. But it's kind of like we had to give a little attention to everyone. Now we're on a road trip, and we don't have to deal with all this stuff. Hopefully, we'll play better.
gave good great hit home runs team three
We had great players, but we were not a great team (in 2004). We hit more home runs than anybody, but we gave up more home runs than anybody. We could not play defense, we could not pitch, we could not execute. You don't do those three things in baseball, good luck.
bullpen good great pitching series starting winning
We're winning because our starting pitching has been great and our bullpen has done a good job. To win the series was really important to us.
clutch good last pitching
That's the way we play, good defense, good pitching and get clutch hitting. That's what we did last season.
ball bottom consistent field good hit hitters kid middle pull swinging trying wish
I think he's swinging at better pitches. He's not trying to pull everything. He's trying to hit the ball into the middle of the field and right field. We wish this kid would be more consistent with that. When this kid is on, he's on for good and we need those hitters at the bottom of the lineup.
doors good jackie opened robinson
I think Jackie Robinson made us a lot of money. He opened doors for a lot of good things in baseball.
ball good people pitching staff throwing
I thought I would see better pitching performances because our pitching staff is pretty good and so is theirs, ... Right now, they're not throwing the ball the way people thought.
