according bottom kids league learned offensive ranked several veterans
The young kids haven't learned how to do it. They pitched around several of our veterans (last year) to get to the young kids. According to my statistical analysis, we were ranked at the bottom of the league in most all offensive categories.
asking bring consider leagues offense table
You're asking him to do a lot but if it's a possibility here and he could bring a lot of offense to the table then we're going to consider him. If he can get back to the big leagues I think he'll take it any way he can.
ball breaks bust couple course good hudson keeping league previous seen sinking sure zone
I said it's going to take a couple of breaks and someone's going to have to bust one long. That was the Hudson that I had seen in previous years in the American League with a good sinking fastball. He was keeping the ball down in the zone and just didn't give us much. And sure enough, we got something going. And Lance (Berkman) comes up with a big boom. Then of course Ausmus with a big boom, too.
against bats couple decent good home leading league pitches run team though
He made a lot of real good pitches and only made a couple of mistakes, even though the home run to Delgado wasn't a mistake. He made a real good pitch. I thought he did a decent job, especially against a team that has some real good bats and is leading the league in hitting.
arms coming five good last league san seeing six washington younger
I'm seeing younger and better arms coming into the league in the last five or six years. Washington has good pitching. Same for San Diego.
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.
care
We just had a lot of Dontrelle Willis tonight, more than I'd care to see.
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.
happening hits parts timely
What's happening is we're getting timely hits and we're doing it from all parts of the lineup.
balls three
We had three balls that should have been caught,
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.
advantages depth helps problem somebody
The problem comes if somebody doesn't get to play, and that's the advantages of depth and it helps the team, but some individuals will get hurt. I don't how that's going to work.
certainly pieces
We certainly have depth. That's one of the plusses, and we have pieces we can move.
