expect follow game medical orders plan position
We will follow the doctor's orders. Every day, we'll have a game plan that is a medical game plan for him so that we don't expect something from him or put him in a position that he shouldn't be in. We will follow the doctor's orders on this medical rehab, and then we'll see where he goes.
assess games goal win
This was a big win for us. But our goal is to get 15 games over .500 and then assess where we are.
amount game good hoping needs pitch time
This will be good for Brandon. He had a good amount of time off. I'm hoping he's healthy, and I think he will be. He needs to go out to pitch like it's the first game of the World Series.
couple game gotten points turned
When you look back, there were a couple of points during the game where it could have gotten real close. It turned out OK, but I thought it was going to be real easy.
fortunate game ground lose three
We were fortunate to lose two out of three and not lose any ground . . . (Monday) is the most important game we will play this year.
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.
front game good
I'd like to put on a better show. It's embarrassing to play like this in front of our hometown. It was just not a good game for us tonight.
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.
control game happy lead row turned won
If we had won 10 in a row to get a one-game lead right now, I'd be happy as all get-out. No, I don't like the way that game turned out, but we still control our destiny.
control game turned
No, I don't like the way that game turned out, but we still control our destiny.
certainly game last till yogi
We have to play that last out, and we couldn't get the last out. It's one of the things that makes our game great. As Yogi (Berra) would say, 'It's not over till it's over' and it certainly wasn't over.
clearly factor game trying work
I thought he was going to be able to pitch, but it clearly swelled up on him. I think it was probably a little factor in the game in the way he was trying to work with it.
die game might until wait
I thought he might collapse, he's probably in the back right now sick. I told him he couldn't die on the field, he'd have to wait until after the game to die.
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.
