looked send town
We send them (Marlins) out of town with no change. After those first two games, it looked bleak.
figure game gets gives guy nice ninth rotation start team threw won year
Was that his ninth win? That's pretty good. You've got a guy who didn't figure in your rotation at the start of the year and when he gets in he's won more than he's lost, so that's pretty good. He pitched a nice crisp game tonight. He threw strikes, he gets ahead. That gives a team a lift.
anyone case game realize
Tomorrow's game is the most important we'll play all season, in case anyone didn't realize that.
good grinding guys huge job last marvelous offense pitching pressure saying six super time today
Wandy did a super job today and that was huge for us. Our pitching has done a marvelous job the last six games. You have to feel good any time they pitch, but I'd like to see our offense come around a little. The guys are grinding and by me saying this, it'll probably put more pressure on them.
balls care double field fly ground missed skills taken work
We got on the field and got some work done, a lot of ground balls and fly balls. We got those skills taken care of today. We missed our fundamentals but we'll still be able to double up (today) and get back on track.
holding waiting
We're not waiting for him. We're not holding back.
bat chopped great guy liver surgery swung talking
We're not talking about chopped liver here. Yeah, he had surgery and he's not swung the bat like we know Bagwell has in the past, which is with power. But he's still a guy that's going to give you a great at-bat, and he can get you a great at-bat when the game's on the line.
baseball bounce mind question tough
Tough loss, no question, but we've still got a lot of baseball to play. No question in my mind that we'll bounce back and play well.
care worry
If we take care of our business, we don't have to worry about the other teams, what they're doing.
bit couple games human looked pick
He's had a couple of games when he actually looked a little bit human - but sometimes we have to pick him up, too. Sometimes, you have to outscore the other team.
job super
He was dominating. He did a super job for us.
good people quickly
I always like to get people in as quickly as you can. That's the good part of it.
excited
He would have been excited. He would have been excited for Biggio, for Bagwell, for me, for all of us.
He went out and did his thing. He does what he always does.
