both fine
Both of them pitched well. Both of them did a fine job.
ball blown both brad couple gets given lead location though throwing wants
Both will get on track. Even though Brad has given up the lead and blown a couple of saves, I think he's throwing the ball pretty well. When he gets his location where he wants it to be, he's going to be fine.
brad fantastic good notice
Brad had a fantastic year. He was just outstanding. When you don't notice the catcher, that's when he's having a good year. He didn't let anything get by him.
absolutely control dominated large stepped took
Boy, he just stepped up large for us and just took control of the ballgame, just absolutely dominated the game.
although guys hard might pitch roger runs scoring shame trouble trying
We've had trouble scoring runs this season, period. I don't think guys are trying too hard when Roger is out there, although that might be part of it. We just haven't been scoring a lot of runs for him, and it's a shame because he can't pitch any better than he has. He has just been unbelievable.

We've had trouble scoring runs this season, period, ... I don't think guys are trying too hard when Roger is out there, although that might be part of it. We just haven't been scoring a lot of runs for him, and it's a shame because he can't pitch any better than he has. He has just been unbelievable.
control good problems
We've had problems with the Cardinals, no question. We've just got to buckle down now and play some good ball. We're still in control of our destiny.
ends
Well, if it ends like it did, ... that would be fine.
move situation
Tonight, we had a double-play situation and made the move right there.
lost tennessee
I don't know, after Tennessee lost yesterday, he's probably a little flat. He's a big Volunteer.
anybody ballgame position
I didn't want to get in position where if you have another extra-inning ballgame you just don't have anybody to use.
bit capital hurt might
I didn't necessarily think it was a big loss. One of my things that I feel is, if you put so much of your capital in any one player, it's going to hurt you in my opinion. So I think it might have been a little bit of a blessing.
control course game turned
I didn't like the way that game turned out, of course not. Still, we control our destiny. We have to play hard, tighten it up a little bit.
anybody balance best exact soon terrific umpires upset
I'd just as soon us do what we do, ... I can get as upset with the umpires as anybody but on balance they do a terrific job. These are our best umpires, and it's not an exact science.
