farther four hit home maybe outcome pitch spot stupid throw wait
After you see that he hit a three-run home run, that's what I'm saying. When you see the outcome of what happened, you say, 'Well, maybe we should've put up four (fingers),' ... I would be stupid to say, 'All right, wait a minute, let me back this up and see if I can't throw a pitch in a little better spot than that and see how much farther he can hit it.'
comfort disregard
a disregard for the comfort of our fans.
good tough
I thought Gallo did a good job, ... Casey's been real tough on us.
baggy determine good looked step today whether
I thought Baggy looked better today than he has all spring. Each one little step is a good step but it's a process. It's not an event. Today is not going to determine whether he's good or bad.
along couple course easy games hill job nice plays shown terrific
I think Willy has shown us that he can play in these big games all along the course of the season. He's come up big for us, and he's made a couple of really nice plays in the hill out there, but that was not an easy play (to end the eighth) and he did a terrific job on that.
few game innings later looked mound plenty roy
I thought we had plenty of runs, we had Roy on the mound and things looked pretty good. Then a few innings later things didn't look so good. It was a game you didn't want to let get away.
duplicate last
I thought they were going to be hard-pressed to duplicate what they did last year.
both days ok played rule saying straight teams
I thought the rule was if you played 19 straight days and it went over 19 straight ? if you played 20 straight days ? you had to have the OK of the players. If we played on May 8, that would put both teams on 20 straight days. They're saying now it's 20 straight days, and the 21st is when you have to get an OK (from the players). That's probably new.
cardinals club department duplicate last offense pitching potent stronger weaker work year
I thought the Cardinals were going to be hard-pressed to duplicate what they did last year and they did duplicate it. We are a different club and we are probably not offensively as potent as we were last year. ... We are probably a little stronger in the pitching department and probably a little weaker in the offense department. I don't know how that's going to work out.
game ground late middle super zone
I thought Wandy did a super job, ... He must have had some late movement, because he got a lot of ground balls. But he was down in the zone a lot, and in the middle part of the game he went up the zone a little bit.
bullpen couple groove job rough roy tiring
I thought Roy started tiring in the sixth, ... but he did the job he had to do. And the bullpen was perfect. Roy has had a couple of rough outings lately, but he was back in the groove tonight.
focus good hard last pitchers ready tough
I thought our pitchers were very good today. It's a tough day, always the last day is a tough day. Everybody's ready to go, and it is hard to keep your focus going.
ball control good playing
I think we want to take it down to the wire. That's the way we've been playing it, so that's what we're going to do. We've just got to buckle down and play good ball now. We're still in control of our destiny.
andy figure key
I think Andy is probably the key figure here in making all this happen.
