along course games shown
Willy has shown that he can play in these big games all along the course of the season, ... He's come up big for us.
games saw stage stepped super tonight took trouble unusual winning
What you saw tonight is not unusual for Roy. This was a big stage and we've had trouble winning games in this park. He stepped up, and took control, and did a super job.
against games good milwaukee three took worries
What worries me is that we've had three games that are stinkers. We didn't look good against Milwaukee and we didn't look good tonight. They pretty much took it to us tonight.
games three worries
What worries me is that we've had three games that are pretty much stinkers right here lately,
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.
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.
coming games good job ours runs somehow time trait typical
It's just something that's been a trait of ours all year, but we managed to win. It's like some of our typical games and somehow we managed to get through it. We didn't eke one out this time and that's unfortunate because we had been doing a pretty good job of coming up with runs somehow.
close games good hurt
It was a surprise. He's very good in close games about not getting hurt with the long ball.
aggressive ahead behind games gets hitters maybe playoffs regular seven six
I want him to be in the 15-win range, maybe six or seven games over .500. My only criticism, if I have one, is that he gets behind hitters during the regular season. He doesn't do that in the playoffs because he is aggressive and gets ahead of the hitters.
ball games hot last time unless week win
You don't want everyone hot all at the same time unless it's the last week of the season. You need to be able to win ball games without everyone being hot.
along couple course easy games hill job nice plays shown terrific
I think Willy has shown us that he can play in these big games all along the course of the season. He's come up big for us, and he's made a couple of really nice plays in the hill out there, but that was not an easy play (to end the eighth) and he did a terrific job on that.
difficult games rest win year
I think it's going to be difficult because (Clemens) will probably win the rest of the games this year (and) that's going to tighten it up,
best catch fair games hard looking rest seeing shape taking
I was just looking at the rest of the games and seeing how to make it fair for them to be able to catch and be in shape and do the best they can do, too, while taking a good, hard look at Munson.
bit couple games human looked pick
He's had a couple of games when he actually looked a little bit human - but sometimes we have to pick him up, too. Sometimes, you have to outscore the other team.
