break giving good pitchers score
We have to break out. We have to score some runs. Our pitchers have been giving us good enough games. We have to buckle down.
control good simple win
We've got to buckle down and play some good ball. We're still in control of our own desitny. If we can't win it, we can't win it. It's simple as that.
across couple fighting good job looked run turn win
We had a couple of chances. We couldn't get a run across the plate, but we got back in the ballgame. We did a good job fighting to get back into the ballgame. It looked like we were going to turn it and win it.
extent good point
To this point it's probably a good thing he hasn't had to do that. To what extent he could do it if he had to throw, I don't know.
expect eye good hit home runs strength
I don't think his strength is there. To expect him to hit home runs would be optimistic. He still has a good eye at the plate. He still has quickness.
against ball changing good hits job pitching sharp team
I don't think he was as sharp as he's going to be, but for pitching against a team that hits the ball well, he battled through it. He did a good job of changing things.
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.
good guys knew mind people thrown
Biggio made his mind up. He knew what he wanted to do. Most guys get thrown out if people make good throws, and they made two.
broke care good job kept saying worry
Astacio did a good job today. A real good job today. Astacio kept them down and he kept us in the ballgame, and then we broke it open. ... We've been saying it all along, if we take care of business, we don't have to worry about the other teams.
ahead good next point tying
The good point is that we got the tying run, and then we go right ahead with the next one,
against ball bat care decent few good job pitches swinging team threw
We just had a lot of Dontrelle Willis tonight, more than I'd care to see, ... Brandon (Backe) threw the ball well. He had a lot of good pitches and only a few mistakes. That was a decent job against a team that is really swinging the bat well.
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.
good normally
We had the lead. When we get it, normally we keep it. We will. We're good at it. We've been doing it all year.
evaluate gives good
We are going to evaluate him. He may be back a day or two after that as a pinch-hitter. He still gives you good at-bats.
