couple last louis played seem
That's unbelievable. That's what St. Louis has done so well the last couple of years. They seem to have played real well in our division.
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 last
When I thought we were going to take off, we didn't. When I thought we were going to crater, we didn't. We came down to the last game, and we did what we had to do.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
experience felt last pitching playoffs pleased reflection
I felt like Raul has a little more experience with our pitching staff, ... He was in the playoffs last year, and I felt like it was important to go with that experience right now. I do think that Humberto is a big part of our future. This is not a reflection on what he's doing right now. He's doing well; we're very pleased with his progress.
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.
best bounce clearly club cut last took work year
It's one ballgame. This is a best out of seven. Last year we took it to the limit, but clearly we'll have our work cut out for us. This club bounces back and we'll bounce back.
