They have beaten us up pretty badly this year. They have really thumped us pretty good. Just as a matter of pride, we would not want to see them celebrate here again. We'd like to change that.

They got the clutch hits. They played fundamentally sound and got the ball in the air.

playing younger
That's not bad. For a younger kid, I would usually have them in the 30s right now and they would end up with 55 at-bats or so. I could end up getting him there playing him more than I really want to, but he's getting there.
That's not typical. That's about the most you'll get out of Roy.
ball brad hit knows mistake next walking
The mistake we make is walking Edmonds. You have to let Edmonds hit the ball in the next count. You can't walk him, and Brad knows that.
