along brad case classic hit job nice slider talked throw
He hit a slider where we like for Brad to throw it, and he got it up the middle. All along in this series, we talked about they were doing a nice job of hitting, and that was a classic case of it.
ball drive fly guys run
He got the run in. It wasn't the fly ball or a ball in the gap, but he got the run in. Guys that drive in runs, find a way to get a run in. That's just what they do.
bother
He doesn't let anything bother him, doesn't let anything get to him, ... He pitches. That's what he does.
bruise calf feels guess hole inner knee size sort spread
He feels a little sore, but he's better ... He's going to be fine. I guess I could say the bruise is sort of diffused somewhat, so he doesn't have a big hole the size of a watermelon on his knee right now. But it's spread up the calf and inner thigh a little bit.
definitely entirely looks pleasantly surprised
He looks entirely different. I'm very pleasantly surprised and pleased. From what I see, he's definitely got a chance.
against bats couple decent good home leading league pitches run team though
He made a lot of real good pitches and only made a couple of mistakes, even though the home run to Delgado wasn't a mistake. He made a real good pitch. I thought he did a decent job, especially against a team that has some real good bats and is leading the league in hitting.
confirm
He'll go back there just to confirm this is a tweak.
bit days longer swinging
He'll do that for a little bit longer -- two days on, one day off. He's swinging well.
ends five head jump might minor moves needed pitch ready season
He might jump right in and be able to take off. If you don't have an injury, you can get ready a lot quicker. ... I might look back at the first part of the season and say, 'Well, we needed another five days.' Right now, I don't know. We'll get him to pitch even if it's over in the Minor Leagues. If he ends up being the better candidate, he moves to the head of the class.
baseball best might money player somewhere
He might be the best all-around player in baseball today. If we're going to put our money somewhere ...
bay came early game guys kept roy sixth tough
He came through big. He had one tough inning, but our guys came through for him. Once in a while, you have to have a little help. Roy kept the game at bay early on. We had a tough sixth inning, and then we responded.
light maybe
We can maybe see the light at the end of the tunnel.
draw
We can draw on what we've had to go through,
bat couple last seen swings
When he swings the bat like we've seen the last couple of days, he very well could be that guy.
