guys hits hitting nine nobody sudden three time tonight walk
When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time.
count four gave guys nice walk
When he gave me that answer, it was just walk away and let him pitch. I think it's nice when you have four guys you can count on.
amazing appreciate ballpark baseball bring chicago city earned empty fans feeling fun good guys half media missing nice people players stomach turned
We appreciate the way the fans have turned out this year. But you have an empty feeling in your stomach when you come out and see half of the ballpark empty. The players earned the people to be watching. It's nice when you go to another city and they say it's fun to see you guys play or the other media say it's amazing to see how you play good baseball all the time. And then you come to Chicago and you feel like you are missing something. You feel like we've done what we have to do to bring people to the ballpark.
besides great guy help stays
I think (if) Thome stays healthy, he's going to help this team. Besides that, he's a great guy in the clubhouse.
breathe brought guys last mistake pitching runs score staff year
We can score more runs this year than last year. That's why we brought those guys here. Last year, God, it was 2-1, 1-0, 3-2 every game. My pitching staff couldn't even breathe one minute. They can't even make one mistake because we'd lose.
guys hurt ready stay
When you're hurt physically, you can recover. When it is mental, you don't know when it is going to show up and you don't know when it is going to stay at home. Mentally, we need guys to show up every day. I don't know if he's ready to do that for the team.
everybody games guy players
We have a lot of games to go and not that many players in camp. Everybody will get a legit chance. The guy who can pinch-hit and play once in a while, he will take the job.
believe best came chances decision guys manager playoff ready sorry weeks
We have two weeks to make a decision on playoff roster. He doesn't have to show me. He's got to show his teammates. You don't have to show me anything. I didn't come here to make friends. I came here to be the best manager I can. You got to make those guys believe you are ready to go. If you're not ready to go, I'm sorry and I'll take my chances in a different way.
failed guys moving team time today type
We have the type of team that executes all the time and that's our game. We failed today at moving the guys over.
conscience couple days good guilty guys lady last next playing sitting six slept wrong
It was one lady and six guys sitting next to me, and we were just playing around all game. And (if) they take it the wrong way, that's fine. I know the last couple of days I slept pretty good about it because I don't have anything in my conscience to make me feel guilty about it.
baseball beginning guys home moving run wait
It's not going to be like, two-run home run and wait for the closer. It's going to be baseball from the beginning all the way to the end - squeezes, hit-and-run, moving guys over.
biggest game guys home hopefully maybe ready year
(Sunday) is a big game for us. Maybe the biggest game we're going to play this year and hopefully we come home with a victory. It's not going to be easy. Those guys are going to show up ready to play and ... you never know what's going to happen.
against guy hit hits pitcher throws toughest triple
Uribe can't hit a guy who throws junk. And then he hits a triple against the toughest pitcher in baseball.
days either figure guys less nine
Either way we set the rotation, there's a lot of guys who will have 10 days off, nine days off, ... You have to figure out how to get those guys less days (off), but it's impossible.
