bridges gives goes great kept points several standpoint time
There's several great points from our standpoint in that game. It was Backe's first time back, and he kept us in the ballgame. And Wandy Rodriguez, who has been a starter, he goes out and gives us one inning and kind of bridges our bullpen.
applaud ball beats bunch great guy hanging next pitches takes tough
That was a great at-bat. You never know if that has anything to do with the next guy, but when a guy makes a bunch of pitches on you, and he nubs the ball to shortstop and he beats it out, I think it takes something out of you. You've got to applaud Willy for hanging tough in that at-bat.
best good great last shows year
Last year shows really how good he is. I wouldn't say he was at his best physically, and he had a great year.
although best both control downhill game gets great heat high hope looks people pitch seen sides
I feel that we have not seen his best game, although I can see why people are very high on him. He has a great downhill tilt, he looks like when he gets his game together, he can control both sides of the plate. He's down in the zone. I would hope he would go down there and pitch right from the get-go and put a little heat on us up here.
again great guy man missed super threw
I told Bruntlett he missed the cutoff man again tonight, ... But that's because he threw it so fast, the cutoff guy couldn't get there in time. He made a great play. He made a super play.
defensive glass great half happened needed plays run
It's happened because we had great pitching, great defensive plays and we managed to come up with a run when we needed it sometimes. The glass is half full, not half empty.
basically deal everybody great hope learn managerial piece style
You learn a piece of it basically from everybody that you play for. I would hope that my managerial style is a great deal like Chuck. He's my mentor.
bat chopped great guy liver surgery swung talking
We're not talking about chopped liver here. Yeah, he had surgery and he's not swung the bat like we know Bagwell has in the past, which is with power. But he's still a guy that's going to give you a great at-bat, and he can get you a great at-bat when the game's on the line.
ended good great grew hurry kids last matter playing starting stepped team truth year
There were a whole lot of things last year that made me nervous. Starting off last season, I did not think we had a good enough team to get to the playoffs, and the truth of the matter is the kids all stepped up and grew up in a hurry and we ended up playing great ball.
across great pitching
This is tough. We got such great pitching from Rocket. We had opportunities but couldn't get them across the board. That's tough.
