games saw stage stepped super tonight took trouble unusual winning
What you saw tonight is not unusual for Roy. This was a big stage and we've had trouble winning games in this park. He stepped up, and took control, and did a super job.
again great guy man missed super threw
I told Bruntlett he missed the cutoff man again tonight, ... But that's because he threw it so fast, the cutoff guy couldn't get there in time. He made a great play. He made a super play.
good grinding guys huge job last marvelous offense pitching pressure saying six super time today
Wandy did a super job today and that was huge for us. Our pitching has done a marvelous job the last six games. You have to feel good any time they pitch, but I'd like to see our offense come around a little. The guys are grinding and by me saying this, it'll probably put more pressure on them.
game ground late middle super zone
I thought Wandy did a super job, ... He must have had some late movement, because he got a lot of ground balls. But he was down in the zone a lot, and in the middle part of the game he went up the zone a little bit.
job super
He was dominating. He did a super job for us.
game hustled might point super turning
He hustled all the way and made a super play; that might have been the turning point at the game right there.
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.
