changed confident determined last playing wants
I don't think he's much changed from last year. He's a very confident player. I just think he's more determined now because he wants more playing time.
anyone
If anyone else is running, Nunez probably makes that play,
incentive plenty
I don't think we need any more incentive than we already have. We're an organization that has never been to the World Series. That's plenty of incentive right there.
today
I don't think it was Weaver today as much as it was us,
good prudent rocket sure tomorrow wait
I don't think it would be prudent on our part to wait to see what's going to happen. You try to make sure if we started tomorrow if Rocket wasn't here, you'd feel like you'd have a good team.
bounce course games lost mind question season tough
I don't know. We have lost some tough games in the course of the season and managed to bounce back. No question in my mind that we will bounce back and play well.
ball hit
I don't know what would have happened, ... but clearly, the ball hit the bat.
backup guy job looking pitching rotation seventh staff
I don't know what our pitching staff is going to look like at the end of the rotation yet. We're still looking for that seventh guy in the bullpen. I don't know what I'm going to do with our backup catcher's job yet.
baggy excited happy utilize
I am excited to no end that Bagwell is with us now, ... We'll be able to utilize Baggy and I'm happy for him.
affect applaud locate reason
I applaud him for going through it, but I think it probably had a little affect on him during the game, ... And that's one reason he didn't locate as well as he has been recently.
applaud effect
I applaud him for getting through it, ... But I think it probably had a little effect on him.
looked tonight
But we bounced back tonight and looked great.
control guy hit hour hurt last lights miles power throw throwing year
But when a guy can throw 97 miles an hour like he was last year and he's throwing it right to the corners, and he's got a power slider, that's going to hurt you. You can't hit that guy. That's why he was lights out last year. His control has not been there this year.
against bottom good job line pitching
But the bottom line is they did a pretty good job of pitching against us.
