bit felt good led might morgan pressure took
So that felt good when he did that, obviously. I think that took a little bit of pressure off everybody. It made Morgan feel a little better. Of course, it might have led to the three-run homer. Who knows?
die game might until wait
I thought he might collapse, he's probably in the back right now sick. I told him he couldn't die on the field, he'd have to wait until after the game to die.
bat break days good mental might rolling swinging tough
I might not have done it had he been really swinging the bat well, but sometimes you need a mental break when you're having a tough stretch. Most of his days off will come on day games, but he will play on long stretches when he will be rolling good and won't get as many days off.
bit capital hurt might
I didn't necessarily think it was a big loss. One of my things that I feel is, if you put so much of your capital in any one player, it's going to hurt you in my opinion. So I think it might have been a little bit of a blessing.
although guys hard might pitch roger runs scoring shame trouble trying
We've had trouble scoring runs this season, period. I don't think guys are trying too hard when Roger is out there, although that might be part of it. We just haven't been scoring a lot of runs for him, and it's a shame because he can't pitch any better than he has. He has just been unbelievable.

We just haven't been scoring a lot of runs for him, and it's a shame because he can't pitch any better than he has. He has just been unbelievable.
against anyway felt fine given might morris mosquito tonight
It's very small. It's like a mosquito bite, is the way it was described. Mo said he felt great, no pain, no fatigue, no nothing. He's fine to play, but I might have given him tonight off anyway against (Matt) Morris .
caught chavez difficult might playing playoff staff
It might be a little more difficult to get (Quintero) a whole lot of playing time, ... Chavez has had playoff experience, and he's caught our whole staff more than Quintero.
composed might rattle seen tonight
It might some pitchers, and it didn't rattle Roy, ... I thought tonight he was as composed as I've ever seen him.
felt good less might obviously pressure runner struggled third took
We've struggled so much in getting the runner in from third with less than two outs, so it obviously felt good doing that. I think it took the pressure off everybody. Might have led to the three-run homer, too.
biggest game gotten keeps might momentum turning
Wheeler might have gotten the biggest strikeout of the game on Bay. And Gallo keeps the momentum from turning on their side.
chris discuss figure might sit spring willing
I will sit down with him at spring training, and we'll discuss what we might need to do. I know Chris is willing to do anything we want him to do. We'll see what makes sense and figure out a way to get him some at-bats.
anybody man might prepared rocket seen thrown whatever
Rocket might have thrown 10, 20 innings. I think he was prepared to do whatever it took. And that's the way the man is. I've never seen anybody like him. He's amazing.
bat certainly defensive ends foot gets might plus showing situations swing
He's certainly a plus defensive player, and if he ends up showing he can swing the bat ... and he gets his foot in the door, it might be one of those situations where you can't get him out.
