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.
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.
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.

Wheeler might have gotten the biggest strikeout of the game on Bay. And Gallo keeps the momentum from turning on their side.
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 .
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.

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.

It might some pitchers, and it didn't rattle Roy, ... I thought tonight he was as composed as I've ever seen him.
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?
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.
ends five head jump might minor moves needed pitch ready season
He might jump right in and be able to take off. If you don't have an injury, you can get ready a lot quicker. ... I might look back at the first part of the season and say, 'Well, we needed another five days.' Right now, I don't know. We'll get him to pitch even if it's over in the Minor Leagues. If he ends up being the better candidate, he moves to the head of the class.
