badly bounce certainly chance good home series win
We're certainly not in a good spot, ... As badly as we played, we had a chance to win this ballgame. That would have been a feel-good experience. We just have to go home and regroup. We'll bounce back. We'll make a series out of this.
bad bit hammer hurt missing pitching played small
We've played a little bit of small ball, it's just not winning. We're making some bad pitches, and they're not missing them, either. When we make mistakes, they hammer them. ... We've been hurt by the long ball, which is uncharacteristic of our pitching staff.

It was a bad call. It was a wrong call, ... He didn't go to his mouth on the mound. He was simply sweating profusely on his face and was wiping it away.

bad chance meets
I told him it would be better if he just meets us in Houston. There's a chance he wouldn't even make it in. We shouldn't be in too bad of shape.
badly beaten celebrate change matter
They have beaten us up pretty badly this year. They have really thumped us pretty good. Just as a matter of pride, we would not want to see them celebrate here again. We'd like to change that.

across bad eyebrow plain sweating wiped
He did not go to his mouth. He was sweating profusely on his face. He wiped his eyebrow across his nose, and (Dreckman) called it on his face. It was a bad call, plain and simple.
across bad caught eyebrow mistaken nose plain players sweating takes turned umpire wiped
The umpire said he went to his mouth. It was a bad call. It was a mistaken call. It's unfortunate that the game, in my opinion, turned on that. You don't know what's going to happen, but it takes it out of the players hands. He did not go to his mouth. He was sweating profusely on his face. He wiped his eyebrow (and came) across his nose and caught it on his face. It was a bad call, plain and simple.

against bottom good job line missed pitches pitching zone
We missed some pitches that we should have hit, and we expanded the (strike) zone sometimes when we probably shouldn't have. But the bottom line is they did a pretty good job of pitching against us.
