changed confident determined last playing wants
I don't think he's much changed from last year. He's a very confident player. I just think he's more determined now because he wants more playing time.
last needs planning stay
We're planning on him being able to play. If he needs to stay in Houston, that will be his last off day.
control guy hit hour hurt last lights miles power throw throwing year
But when a guy can throw 97 miles an hour like he was last year and he's throwing it right to the corners, and he's got a power slider, that's going to hurt you. You can't hit that guy. That's why he was lights out last year. His control has not been there this year.
last life took turn worse
Burke was able to play today, ... But he took a turn for the worse severely last night. And he's on life support.
chance good last memory obviously switch
Obviously my last memory was not a good one. We'd like to have a chance to switch that around.
based basically expected feels last throwing
Let's see how he feels tomorrow. That's about kind of what I expected based on (the fact) he's been throwing off and on every other day basically for the last week.
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.
bit contend expect last pennant team
We're a team in a little bit of a transition. But I still expect us to contend. And I didn't even expect us to contend for the pennant last year.
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.
certainly chris confident determined good last playing results saw wants
I think Chris is a very confident player. I wouldn't say he's more confident (than last year), but he's more determined than ever that he wants more playing time. We certainly saw good results today.
ahead count deep goes innings last pitch point quite seen successful
I think he is back, but he is not quite to the point we have seen him pitch before. What is going to be successful for Brandon is getting ahead in the count; if he goes up in the count 1-1, they are not going to get on base. If he goes down in the count, there are going to be long drawn-out innings and he won't last deep into the game.
came carried last mike preference stretch wonderful year
I think Mike Gallo did a wonderful when he came back from Triple-A last year and carried us down the stretch as the only lefthander. It would be my preference to have two lefties, but that's not set in stone.
duplicate last
I thought they were going to be hard-pressed to duplicate what they did last year.
cardinals club department duplicate last offense pitching potent stronger weaker work year
I thought the Cardinals were going to be hard-pressed to duplicate what they did last year and they did duplicate it. We are a different club and we are probably not offensively as potent as we were last year. ... We are probably a little stronger in the pitching department and probably a little weaker in the offense department. I don't know how that's going to work out.
